COMPARATIVE REVIEW OF THE ENERGY REQUIREMENTS FOR THE ACCELERATED CURING OF CONCRETE

The author presents a mathematical analysis and describes how an accelerated curing is achieved by a physical process that involves the application of heat as an accelerator. Effects and practices of thermal curing, heating methods, and thermal efficiency of heat flow are discussed.
