Economic Aspects of Curing Mass Concrete.
Abstract
The most recent authoritative document on curing Concrete is ACI Standard 308-71, 'ACI Recommended Practice for Curing Concrete', notice of the adoption of which appeared in the January 1972 ACI Journal, page 1. The full text--which was not later amended--was published in the April 1971 ACI Journal, pages 233-243. This standard recognizes that curing involves two principal elements: (1) maintaining a satisfactory moisture content and (2) maintaining a favorable temperature--in concrete during hydration of the cementitious materials, so that desired properties are developed. In this report, attention will be primarily directed to the maintenance of a satisfactory moisture content, since the topic of maintaining a favorable temperature in concrete in dams is a major subject in its own right and usually is considered apart from 'curing'.
