Compressive Strength Development of High-Strength Concrete under Different Curing Temperatures

Article Preview

Abstract:

The present study examined the in-place strength of high-strength concrete based on the relative strength-maturity relationship. The measured strength gain of high-strength concrete was compared with the predictions obtained from the modified maturity function to consider the offset maturity and the insignificance of subsequent curing temperature after an age of 3 days on later strength of concrete. This study demonstrates that the compressive strength gain of concrete cured at the reference temperature (20°C) for an early age of 3 days is little affected by the subsequent curing temperature histories.
