Hi all;
I have a question for the experts (as I am far from 1, still green engineer). Aside from the obvious creep/shrinkage cracking, are there any other problems with heat curing concrete. We regularly use propane heaters to heat cure our projects, and completely strip forms the next day (tunnelform technology - pouring walls and slab in one cycle).
We obviously get the required strength for stripping, and was wondering if anyone remembers the formula for calculating f'c for this situation (calculating concrete strength based on time, and the effect of heat curing)
Thanks in advance.
