THE EARLY STRENGTH OF CONCRETE UNDER NATURAL CONDITIONS OF HARDENING
THE OBJECT OF THE PRESENT ARTICLE IS NOT MERELY TO DESCRIBE THE ALREADY FUNDAMENTALLY KNOWN QUALITATIVE EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE, AGE, KIND OF CEMENT AND WATER/CEMENT RATIO UPON THE EARLY STRENGTHS OF CONCRETE. IN ADDITION, IT INDICATES WAYS AND MEANS WHEREBY THE CONCRETE MANUFACTURER CAN, WITH SIMPLE AND CONVENIENT METHODS ESTIMATE THE ORDER OF MAGNITUDE OF THE EFFECTIVE STRENGTHS OF CONCRETE AT AN EARLY AGE. A TENTATIVE START HAS BEEN MADE WITH CLASS 475 PORTLAND CEMENT (SPECIFIED 28-DAY STRENGTH 475 KG/CM). IT COULD BE ADVANTAGEOUS TO EXTEND THESE INVESTIGATIONS TO INCLUDE OTHER KINDS OF CEMENT. THIS WILL, IT IS TRUE, INVOLVE CONSIDERABLE EXPENDITURE, BUT IS INDEED JUSTIFIED, HAVING REGARD TO THE INCREASE IN OUR KNOWLEDGE OF CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS AND TO THE POSSIBLE EASIER WORKING PROCEDURES THAT WILL RESULT THEREFROM. /AUTHOR/
