Experiment Study on Capillary Absorption of Fly Ash Concrete at Different Curing Ages

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this research, an experiment was designed to study the capillary absorption of fly ash concretes. In order to understand the essence of capillary absorption, samples of fly ash concrete with different heights at different curing ages were tested in this experiment. It is found that the samples tested at 7d and 28d had the same sorptivity. And the height of the samples has no influence on the capillary absorption.
