8、s a function, to a large extent, of thepenetrability of the pore system. In unsaturated concrete, therate of ingress of water or other liquids is largely controlled byabsorption due to capillary rise. This test method is based onthat developed by Hall3who called the phenomenon “watersorptivity.”4.2

9、The water absorption of a concrete surface depends onmany factors including: (a) concrete mixture proportions; (b)the presence of chemical admixtures and supplementary ce-mentitious materials; (c) the composition and physical charac-teristics of the cementitious component and of the aggregates;(d) t

10、he entrained air content; (e) the type and duration ofcuring; (f) the degree of hydration or age; (g) the presence ofmicrocracks; (h) the presence of surface treatments such assealers or form oil; and (i) placement method includingconsolidation and finishing. Water absorption is also stronglyaffecte

11、d by the moisture condition of the concrete at the time oftesting.4.3 This method is intended to determine the susceptibilityof an unsaturated concrete to the penetration of water. Ingeneral, the rate of absorption of concrete at the surface differsfrom the rate of absorption of a sample taken from

12、the interior.The exterior surface is often subjected to less than intendedcuring and is exposed to the most potentially adverse condi-tions. This test method is used to measure the water absorptionrate of both the concrete surface and interior concrete. Bydrilling a core and cutting it transversely

13、at selected depths, theabsorption can be evaluated at different distances from theexposed surface. The core is drilled vertically or horizontally.4.4 This test method differs from Test Method C 642 inwhich the specimens are oven dried, immersed completely in1This test method is under the jurisdictio

In this testmethod, only one surface is exposed to water at room tempera-ture while the other surfaces are sealed simulating waterabsorption

17、in a member that is in contact with water on oneside only. Test Method C 642, on the other hand, is used toestimate the maximum amount of water that can be absorbedby a dry specimen and therefore provides a measure of thetotal, water permeable pore space.5. Apparatus5.1 Pan, a watertight polyethylen

18、e or other corrosion-resistant pan large enough to accommodate the test specimenswith the surfaces to be tested exposed to water.5.2 Support Device, rods, pins, or other devices, which aremade of materials resistant to corrosion by water or alkalinesolutions, and which allow free access of water to

19、the exposedsurface of the specimen during testing. Alternatively, thespecimens can be supported on several layers of blotting paperor filter papers with a total thickness of at least 1 mm.5.3 Top-pan Balance, complying with Specification C 1005and with sufficient capacity for the test specimens and

20、accurateto at least 6 0.01 g.5.4 Timing Device, stop watch or other suitable timingdevice accurate to 6 1s.5.5 Paper Towel or Cloth, for wiping excess water fromspecimen surfaces.5.6 Water-Cooled Saw, with diamond impregnated blade tocut test specimens from larger samples.5.7 Environmental Chamber,

21、a chamber allowing for aircirculation and able to maintain a temperature of 50 6 2C anda relative humidity at 80 6 3 %. Alternatively, an oven able tomaintain a temperature of 50 6 2C and a dessicator largeenough to contain the specimens to be tested is permitted. Therelative humidity (RH) is contro

22、lled in the dessicator at 80 60.5 % by a saturated solution of potassium bromide. Thesolubility of potassium bromide is 80.2 g/100 g of water at50C. The solution shall be maintained at the saturation pointfor the duration of the test. The presence of visible crystals inthe solution provides acceptab

23、le evidence of saturation.5.8 Polyethylene Storage Containers, with sealable lids,large enough to contain at least one test specimen but not largerthan 5 times the specimen volume.5.9 Caliper, to measure the specimen dimensions to thenearest 0.1 mm.6. Reagents and Materials6.1 Potassium Bromide, Rea

24、gent Grade, required if theoven and dessicator system described in 5.7 is used.6.2 Sealing Material, strips of low permeability adhesivesheets, epoxy paint, vinyl electricians tape, duct tape, oraluminium tape. The material shall not require a curing timelonger than 10 minutes.6.3 Plastic Bag or She

25、eting, any plastic bag or sheeting thatcould be attached to the specimen to control evaporation fromthe surface not exposed to water. An elastic band is required tokeep the bag or sheeting in place during the measurements.7. Test Specimens7.1 The standard test specimen is a 100 6 6 mm diameterdisc,

26、with a length of 50 6 3 mm. Specimens are obtained fromeither molded cylinders according to Practices C 31/C 31M orC 192/C 192M or drilled cores according to Test MethodC 42/C 42M. The cross sectional area of a specimen shall notvary more than 1 % from the top to the bottom of the specimen.When core

27、s are taken, they should be marked (see Note 1)sothat the surface to be tested relative to the original location inthe structure is clearly indicated.NOTE 1The surface to be exposed during testing shall not be markedor otherwise disturbed in such a manner as may modify the absorption rateof the spec

28、imen.7.2 The average test results on at least 2 specimens (Note 2)shall constitute the test result. The test surfaces shall be at thesame distance from the original exposed surface of the con-crete.NOTE 2Concrete is not a homogeneous material. Also, an exteriorsurface of a concrete specimen seldom h

29、as the same porosity as theinterior concrete. Therefore, replicate measurements are taken on speci-mens from the same depth to reduce the scatter of the data.8. Sample Conditioning8.1 Place test specimens in the environmental chamber at atemperature of 50 6 2C and RH of 80 6 3 % for 3 days.Alternati

30、vely, place test specimens in a dessicator inside anoven at a temperature of 50 6 2C for 3 days. If the dessicatoris used, control the relative humidity in the dessicator with asaturated solution of potassium bromide (see 5.7), but do notallow test specimens to contact the solution.NOTE 3To control

31、the RH using the potassium bromide solution, thesolution should be placed in the bottom of the dessicator, to ensure thelargest surface of evaporation possible.8.2 After the 3 days, place each specimen inside a sealablecontainer (as defined in 5.8). Use a separate container for eachspecimen. Precaut

32、ions must be taken to allow free flow of airaround the specimen by ensuring minimal contact of thespecimen with the walls of the container.8.3 Store the container at 23 6 2C for at least 15 daysbefore the start of the absorption procedure.NOTE 4Storage in the sealed container for at least 15 days re

Measure the diameters to thenearest 0.1 mm and calculate the average diameter to thenearest 0.1 mm.9.3 Seal th

37、e side surface of each specimen with a suitablesealing material. Seal the end of the specimen that will not beexposed to water using a loosely attached plastic sheet (see6.2). The plastic sheet can be secured using an elastic band orother equivalent system (see Fig. 1).9.4 Use the procedure below to

38、 determine water absorptionas a function of time. Conduct the absorption procedure at 236 2C with tap water conditioned to the same temperature.9.5 Absorption Procedure:9.5.1 Measure the mass of the sealed specimen to thenearest 0.01 g and record it as the initial mass for waterabsorption calculatio

Maintain the water level 1to 3 mm above the top of the support device for the duration ofthe tests.NOTE 5One method for keeping the water

40、 level constant is to installa water-filled bottle upside down such that the bottle opening is in contactwith the water at the desired level.9.5.3 Start the timing device and immediately place the testsurface of the specimen on the support device (see Fig. 1).Record the time and date of initial cont

41、act with water.9.5.4 Record the mass at the intervals shown in Table 1 afterfirst contact with water. Using the procedure in 9.5.5, the firstpoint shall be at 60 6 2 s and the second point at 5 min 6 10s. Subsequent measurements shall be within 6 2 min of 10min, 20 min, 30 min, and 60 min. The actua

42、l time shall berecorded to within 6 10 s. Continue the measurements everyhour, 6 5 min, up to 6 h, from the first contact of the specimenwith water and record the time within 6 1 min.After the initial6 h, take measurements once a day up to 3 days, followed by3 measurements at least 24 h apart during

43、 days 4 to 7; take afinal measurement that is at least 24 h after the measurement at7 days. The actual time of measurements shall be recordedwithin 6 1 min. This will result in seven data points for contacttime during days 2 through 8. Table 1 gives the target times ofmeasurements and the tolerances

44、 for the times.9.5.5 For each mass determination, remove the test speci-men from the pan, stop the timing device if the contact time isless than 10 min, and blot off any surface water with adampened paper towel or cloth.After blotting to remove excesswater, invert the specimen so that the wet surfac

45、e does notcome in contact with the balance pan (to avoid having to drythe balance pan). Within 15 s of removal from the pan, measurethe mass to the nearest 0.01 g. Immediately replace thespecimen on the support device and restart the timing device.10. Calculations10.1 The absorption, I, is the chang

46、e in mass divided by theproduct of the cross-sectional area of the test specimen and thedensity of water. For the purpose of this test, the temperaturedependence of the density of water is neglected and a value of0.001 g/mm3is used. The units of I are mm.I 5mta*d, (1)where:I = the absorption,mt= the

47、 change in specimen mass in grams, at the time t,a = the exposed area of the specimen, in mm2, andd = the density of the water in g/mm3.10.2 The initial rate of water absorption (mm/s1/2) is definedas the slope of the line that is the best fit to I plotted against thesquare root of time (s1/2). Obta

48、in this slope by using least-squares, linear regression analysis of the plot of I versustime1/2. For the regression analysis, use all the points from 1min to 6 h, excluding points for times after the plot shows aclear change of slope. If the data between 1 min and6hdonotfollow a linear relationship
