Influence of Cold Weather on Compressive Strength in High Performance with Silica Fume

Abstract:

This paper addresses the influence of cold weather on the compressive strength of high performance concrete with silica fume under different curing days. Test variables of this study are weather condition (5°C, -5°C and-15°C) and different curing days (7days and 28 days). In this work, the specimen was designed a water-binder ratio of 0.34. One batches of concrete were prepared for each mixing hour, and the compressive strength of cylindrical concrete specimens was measured after 7 and 28 days. Test results for concrete compressive strength show that the concrete’s best mechanical performance occurred when there was the least difference between ambient temperature and concrete temperature, that is, during the later hours of the day in hot weather conditions.
