ادامه مطلبReading time: 5 minutes. Curing of cement concrete is defined as the process of maintaining the moisture and temperature conditions of concrete for hydration reaction to normally so that concrete develops hardened properties over time. The main components which need to be taken care of are moisture, heat, and time during the curing process.

Why untested concrete risks the integrity of your work ... where it is kept for 24 hours, before being cracked and put into our water tanks to cure. Let the concrete cubes cure – The cubes are kept in our temperature-controlled water tanks for 1–4 weeks.
ادامه مطلبThe Compressive strength of specimen can be calculated by dividing maximum load carried by the specimen by cross-sectional area of the specimen cubes. The surface area of specimen: = 150 x 150 = 22500mm² = 225cm². Assume, The Max compression load is 450KN. 1KN = 1000N ; 450Kn = 450×100 = 450000N.

ادامه مطلبFor example, a normal concrete cured entirely in. air, will have a strength at 28 days about half that of the same mix cured in water. Similarly, a specimen cured in water at 130C will have a strength at 7 days about 70%. of that of the same mix cured in water at 460C. Because of these variations, it is.
