A SIMPLE ACCELERATED STRENGTH FOR PORTLAND CEMENTS

A simple accelerated test for measuring the strengths of portland cements is presented. The test uses 2-in. (50-mm) mortar cubes, cured in a standard cement testing autoclave. With this method it is possible to accurately predict the 28-day cube strengths in two days. /Author/
