Curing Concrete in Cold Weather: Expert Tips [ 2024]
2024年11月22日 · Cold weather concreting requires adjustments in mix specifications, placement methods, and curing procedures. Proper planning ensures you’re ready to act when temperatures drop unexpectedly. Protect freshly poured concrete until it reaches at least 500 psi strength, typically within 24 hours for slabs on grade.
Cold Weather Concrete: 7 Common Mistakes You Should Avoid
2020年9月24日 · Knowing what ACI considers “cold weather” in construction, the minimum temperature for concrete pours would be around 40°F (4°C). If concrete is poured below this temperature, the curing process will slow down significantly, and concrete may not achieve the required strength.
The objectives of cold weather concreting practices are to: a) prevent damage to concrete due to freezing at early ages; b) ensure that the concrete develops the recommended strength for safe removal of forms; c) maintain curing conditions that foster normal strength development; d) limit rapid tempera-ture changes; and e) provide protection con...

2011年9月29日 · Are you ready to place concrete so cold weather doesn’t damage it and so it can cure in a reasonable amount of time? The best advice on how to do this is the new ACI 306R-10, “Guide to Cold Weather Concreting.”
Cold Weather Concreting: Guidance, and Strategies
Cold weather concreting is the process of placement, finishing, curing, and protection of concrete during cold weather, as per ACI 306.1. The cold weather occurs when the average outdoor temperature is below 4.4C (40F) for more than three successive days.
How to Cure Concrete in Cold Conditions - Ayres
2021年11月17日 · At 25 to 27 degrees Fahrenheit, the freezing of pore water in curing concrete will halt hydration – and the curing process. Hydration is the chemical reaction in which the key compounds in cement form chemical bonds with water molecules and become hydrates or hydration products.
