Covercrete quality of medium scale wall specimens of normal and expansive concrete was evaluated by using surface water absorption test (SWAT). Importance of restraint was clearly exhibited in case of expansive concrete, by the comparison among the results of a wall specimen subjected both to internal and external restraint, a wall with only internal restraint, and a wall without any restraint. Also, effects of humidity and moisture on the results of SWAT were analyzed to support the effectiveness of SWAT for practical inspection. |
