Abstract
It is known that finishing materials help concrete being used longer, but exactly the mechanism is not cleared. Especially, there are many points you have to research about water transportation in concrete with finishing materials. So I conducted basic research of water transfer properties of concrete with finishing materials. In this research I coated finishing compound and finishing mortar on each concrete and exposed it to three conditions, in other words drying ,water absorption and re-drying condition. Then I measured moisture content in the concretes by using Electrode Method and studied water transportation in concrete with finishing materials. I also did drying shrinkage test of each concrete and studied the effects of finishing materials on drying shrinkage of concrete.
