Standard Test Method for Determination of One-Point, Bulk Water Sorption of Dried Concrete
Also Known As:
ASTM C1757-13 is a standard test method that is used to determine the moisture absorption of dried concrete. The durability of concrete is greatly affected by the ease at which fluids can enter and move through the material. This test method is specifically designed to compare the performance of different concrete mixtures when exposed to wetting and drying conditions.
The test involves subjecting a dried concrete specimen to water for a period of 30 minutes and measuring the water absorbed by the concrete. This provides an indication of the concrete's susceptibility to water intrusion and its potential durability. The test can be performed on both cores and cast specimens, although the results may differ due to differences in surface texture and the amount of exposed paste.
It is important to note that this test method is not intended for assessing the effectiveness of surface treatments applied to the concrete. Additionally, the standard emphasizes that it does not cover all safety concerns associated with its use, and it is the responsibility of the user to establish appropriate safety practices.
