How do you make concrete non porous?

To make concrete non-porous, you can add a waterproofing admixture during the mixing process. This helps to reduce the absorption of water into the concrete, making it less porous and more resistant to water penetration. Additionally, you can seal the surface of the concrete with a waterproof sealer to further enhance its non-porous properties.

How does rust being porous make rust very damaging and expensive?

If rust is porous that means that water can pass through it. This means that when the surface of a metal rusts it 'exposes' fresh metal underneath to water, meaning that that rusts too.In short, rust being porous means that all the metal is effected not just the surface. When Aluminium rusts it forms a hermetic (waterproof) layer which actually prevents further damage. That is why aluminum does not have to be as heavily protected as iron (which should be painted or galvanised to waterproof it)
