The long-time presence of water including chloride in home crawl spaces cause elevated structural degradation after resulting tsunami. In order to clearly the characteristics of chloride penetration on the concrete, experimental study using chloride penetration model was conducted. This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation on the chloride penetration properties of mortar under the water pressure. When the moisture in the concrete is saturated, the penetration of chloride was not affected by the water pressure. However, when the concrete was dry, the depth of chloride penetration became deep with the increase in water pressure.
