Study of the Effective Curing Parameter for Pre-Cast Concrete

Article Preview

Abstract:

The effective initial steam-curing and water-curing duration on concrete with lower water-binder ratio were investigated with XRD, TG-DSC, X-ray CT, SEM-BSE and MIP techniques. According to the effects of initial curing on the micro-structural characteristics of the pre-cast concrete, the effective steam curing duration is 10-14 hours and the effective water curing time was determined not to be over 7 days.
