STRENGTH DEVELOPMENT OF CONCRETE CURED UNDER HIGH TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS AT EARLY AGE

This paper describes a study on long-term strength development of concrete cured under high-temperature conditions at early age. The concrete specimens were made with normal portland cement, high-early-strength portland cement, and low-heat portland cement, and were cured under 26 different temperature conditions. It was clarified that a higher maximum temperature improved the strength of development of concrete at an early age, but inhibited the strength development of concrete at later ages. A shorter initial curing time inhibited the strength development of concrete at later ages. A time dependence of the effect of curing temperature on the strength development of concrete was observed.
