Effects of Curing Condition and Curing Period on the Compressive Strength Development of Plain Concrete

Effects of Curing Condition and Curing Period on the Compressive Strength Development of Plain Concrete

~ B6ef3687b68ca8f506db34933dff0512.200x200
This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the effects of curing methods and curing ages on the compressive strength development of ordinary Portland cement concrete in a tropical environment. Fifteen (15) concrete cubes each were cured by immersion in potable water, immersion in lime water, covering with wet rug, covering with plastic sheets and air-drying. For each of these...
