RECOMMENDED PRACTICE FOR HOT WEATHER CONCRETING

SUCH ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS AS HIGH TEMPERATURE, LOW HUMIDITY, AND WIND CAN HAVE UNDESIRABLE EFFECTS ON CONCRETE PROPERTIES AND CONSTRUCTION OPERATIONS. POSSIBLE UNDESIRABLE EFFECTS ARE LISTED, AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MINIMIZING THEM ARE SUGGESTED. AMONG THESE RECOMMENDATIONS ARE SUCH MEASURES AS PRECOOLING INGREDIENTS, LIMITATION OF CONCRETE TEMPERATURE AS PLACED, LENGTH OF HAUL, FACILITIES FOR HANDLING CONCRETE AT THE SITE, AND SPECIAL PLACING AND CURING TECHNIQUES. /AUTHOR/
