Abstract:
PURPOSE: A dewatering device for a concrete structure and a concrete dewatering method using the same are provided to forcefully inhale surplus water from the surface of a concrete structure and to effectively remove the inhaled water. CONSTITUTION: A dewatering device for a concrete structure comprises a base plate(10), multiple porous absorbers(30), a cover plate(20), an adsorption member(50), a suction pipe, and a suction unit. The base plate has multiple through holes(11). The porous absorbers are inserted into the through holes and inhale surplus water from a concrete structure(C). The cover plate is coupled to the top surface of the base plate and forms surplus water inlet chambers(12). The adsorption member is installed on the bottom surface of the base plate and is extended outward from the edge of the base plate to be attached to the surface of the concrete structure. One end of the suction pipe is connected to the surplus water inlet chambers. The suction unit is connected to the other end of the suction pipe and inhales surplus water from the surplus water inlet chambers.
