Abstract
In this study, we examined evaluation methods based on hydraulic flux measured with the permeability-testing device GWT-4000 and its relationship with bleeding, which affects surface layer quality. We also analyzed the effects on bleeding of the permeability distribution in the height direction of a sample. The results showed that the hydraulic flux q600 of the driving surface was higher than that of the bottom surface. Moreover, we could determine the bleeding effects. The hydraulic flux q600 of the bottom surface was strongly correlated to the amount of bleeding in the small container. It was also found that the hydraulic flux q600 only captured the permeability of the top-most layer, did not capture the effects due to the mix proportion factors in the height direction, and was primarily affected by the mold interface.
