Water Transportation in Concrete with Finishing Materials and Surface Improvement

Abstract

It is known that the durability of RC comportments is improved by finishing materials or surface improvement materials. However, it is not clear the property of water transportation in surface layer of concrete with finishing materials and surface improvement materials. This paper examines the property based on the measurement of humidity and temperature on surface layer of concrete with finishing materials and surface improvement materials. The results show that the humidity change of concrete with water proof materials is softly. And the humidity change of the concrete with surface improvement material is slower in water absorption.
