Fine aggregate and curing temperature effect on concrete maturity
AbstractRemoval of formwork can be made in a short time by early-strength gain of concrete with heat treatment. The effects of accelerated curing temperature and fine aggregate on early strength as well as the relationships between early strength–28-day strength and strength maturity have been examined. Cube concrete specimens produced with a 10-cm constant slump value, 0.59 w/c ratio, and with two different types of fine aggregate were subjected to three-phase cure processes. These cure processes include a 1-h preheating process after having replaced concrete in the mould, the cure application process, and finally the last waiting period for 2 h that is aimed at minimizing the effects of thermal stresses. Each of the specimen groups was cured at different temperatures for different periods (6 or 18 h). At the end of curing and on the 28th day, cube compressive strengths were determined. Therefore, it was seen that it is possible to estimate 28-day strength beforehand with reasonable accuracy.
