In order to effectively reduce the efflorescence appearance of compressed paving units on structures, this study used clear water to soften calcium carbonate crystallization. The effect of age, environment curing and brick type on the hardness properties and efflorescence appearance was discussed by compressive strength, ultrasonic pulse velocity, Paint.net image analysis and scraping rate test, SEM analysis and EDS analysis. The findings show that the compressive strength and ultrasonic pulse velocity of the add calcium carbonate high-pressure bricks increase with age. The quantitative analysis of efflorescence shows, according to Painet.net image analysis and scraping rate, that the surface or bottom efflorescence area ratio and the scraping rate under the hardened concrete curing condition are larger than that under the other curing conditions, and the bottom efflorescence generation is higher than the surface layer by 5.31% ~ 19.82%. For microscopic analysis, a lot of crystalloid Ca(OH)_2 colloid is observed by SEM analysis, about 20% ~ 25% of cement volume. The EDS analysis validates that the Ca is the main element of efflorescence, accounting for 6.64%, much higher than the other elements. The preservative film sealed curing is more effective on suppressing the efflorescence crystal formation.
