HIGH CONCRETE STRENGTH WITHIN THE HOUR

VERY SUBSTANTIAL STRENGTHS CAN BE ACHIEVED IN UNDER 30 MINUTES BY CURING AT ELEVATED TEMPERATURES HIGH-ALUMINA- CEMENT CONCRETE MIXES HAVING LOW TOTAL WATER/CEMENT RATIONS. ALTHOUGH SUCH CURING IS NOT RECOMMENDED IN THE CURRENT CODES OF PRACTICE, THE WORK REPORTED IN THIS PAPER INDICATES THAT CONCRETE PRODUCED BY THIS TECHNIQUE SHOWS A PROGRESSIVE INCREASE IN STRENGTH, EVEN WHEN STORED IN CONDITIONS WHICH WOULD NORMALLY INDUCE RAPID CONVERSION. /TRRL/
