Abstract

The durability of concrete slabs is apt to be influenced by finishing methods and curing methods of concrete surface. Therefore, the finishing agent had better use in case of high strength concrete, the wet curing had better carry out on concrete surface. However, it is not obvious that when wet curing is started after finishing of concrete surface. In this study, the effects of the difference in finishing methods and curing methods on the surface properties of concrete were examined by surface tensile test, air permeability test, water absorption test and scaling test. As a result, use of the finishing agent was effective to improve the surface properties in high strength concrete. However, use of the finishing agent was ineffective in normal strength concrete. When wet curing was carried out, high strength concrete was more effective than normal strength concrete. The surface properties of concrete could be improved when the wet curing was begun after it passed for several hours from finale set of the setting time test for concrete. It is considered that, however, there is not much difference in surface quality within that range, and it is acceptable to start curing water the next day.
