Some studies have paid attention to the curing temperature effect on the strength gain of cement-solidified materials. It is widely accepted that at a higher temperature, concrete and mortar tend to gain much higher early-age strength but slightly lower long-term strength (referred to as crossover phenomenon) [1, 15].The curing temperature effect in concrete and mortar is commonly

Learn MoreWhile curing in low humidity settings is the standard, there is also a way to cure 'wet marijuana.' Also called high humidity curing, this method involves using bacterial growth to cure partially dried marijuana. This type of curing produces different effects and may deliver a harsher experience. It is a type of anaerobic curing.

The maximum split tensile strength recorded was 2.27MPa for ABP 0% replacement, while for ABP 5% dosage indicated 2.1MPa, ABP 10% with 1.97MPa, ABP 15% with 1.85MPa, ABP 20% with 1.6MPa, and ABP

The specimens were placed in the curing box to accelerate cur-ing immediately after casting and were tested in compression at age of (4, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 72) hours. Table (3-1) shows
Learn MoreThis kind of question can be best answered by reference to curves of strength based on water-cement ratio but additional empirical information is used beforehand.Since your question is phrased in terms of slump the first thing that must be determined is how much change in water-cement ratio will be effected by a change in slump of 1 inch
Learn Morewith a pH 7.5 was mixed in specific proportions by controlling water-cement ratios (w/c) by mass of 0.25, 0.38, and 0.45. 2.2 Testing procedures in order to measure the dielectric properties of the paste at water-cement ratios (w/c) by weight of 0.25, 0.38, and 0.45, it was necessary to use a vector network analyzer (VNA).
Learn MoreSummary. Experiments have been made on concretes with varying aggregate/cement and water/cement ratios, with the main object of ascertaining the effects of changes in age and water/cement ratio upon the relation between ultrasonic pulse velocity and the compressive strength of concrete.
Learn MoreWater/cement ratio of 0.5, 0.6, 0.7 and 0.75 were used for each of the mix ratios. The specimens were tested at curing ages of seven to 28 days. The results showed that there was a corresponding increase in both modulus of elasticity and modulus of deformability of laterized concrete due to increase in curing ages.
Learn MoreIn a study on the effect of water/cement (w/c) ratio, aggregate size, and age on the microstructure of the interfacial transition zone between the normal weight aggregate and the bulk cement paste, it was concluded that the w/c ratio plays an important role in controlling the microstructure of the ITZ and its thickness.
