Structure surfaces damaged due to many causes are repaired by several special mortars. But wide studies about the permeability of these mortars were rarely conducted. In this study compressive strength test, flexural strength test and bond strength test of these mortars were conducted. And chloride ion penetration test was also conducted to explore the permeability charcteristics of selected repair mortars. This test was carried out following the standard ASTM C1202-91. Colouriemtric penetration depth can be drawn from these test results using a relationship equation between colourimetric penetration depth and charge passed which C. Andrade suggested. Diffusion coefficient can be calculated by CTH rapid method. To the end, the present study can provide a firm base for the application of repair mortars to concrete structures.
