The aim of this research was to examine the effect water-based hydrophobic impregnations on concrete in order improve its durability, chemical resistance, and physical–mechanical parameters. purpose prevent as much water evaporation possible during hydration, which resulted improvement properties including strength, resistance high-pressure water, tightness, etc. Water-based based silane siloxane, epoxy resin, oil were chosen achieve improvements comparison with solvent-based also performed using determination absorbency, pressure penetration depth, watertightness, aggressive environment. microstructure observed a digital microscope scanning electron (SEM). Samples agents exhibited higher contact angle, lower environment, when compared untreated surfaces, confirming repellency water-soluble impregnations. positive compressive strength recorded. Furthermore, benefit addition 0.1 wt.% nanocellulose into observed. Based obtained results, it found that reduced depth pressurized seepage increased after 28 days by 2 MPa.
