What is the standard procedure to check the effect of wetting-drying cycle of sodium chloride and sodium sulfate solution?

13 September 2019 0 7K Report

I want to check the effect of sodium sulfate and sodium chloride on the geopolymer concrete but don't want to immersed specimens in solution up to the testing ages, so please provide any procedure to the check the effect of wetting-drying cycle.

Thank you
