TEMPERATURE-MATCHED CURING: ITS DEVELOPMENT, APPLICATION AND FUTURE ROLE IN CONCRETE PRACTICE AND RESEARCH

In this the first of a series of articles, the principles involved in the technique of matched curing and its development from the late 1920's to the present are described. The technique was first put into practice to consider the effect of the hottest part of a pour upon the properties of the same concrete. More than 20 years ago, laboratory studies were being undertaken to measure the effect of temperature rises from large sections upon the properties of concrete having the in situ heat cycle imposed upon it. Recently the same properties have been measured directly on site as well as the behaviour of the concrete surface zone, which laboratory studies have continued into the even hotter parts of today's concretes.
