Abstract In this study, the effects of the difference in finishing methods and curing methods of concrete on the surfaces properties were examined by scratch test, rebound hammer test, surfaces tensile test, air permeability test, water absorption test, and scaling test. As a result, wet curing was effective to improve the surface properties of concrete. When finishing agent was used, concrete surface became denser, and coefficient of air permeability tended to be small. When wet curing was begun from 6 hours after finishing of concrete surface, total amount of scaling was small.
