An investigation of concrete curing practice in the Cape Town area
… tests as a tool for the investigation of the concrete curing practice in the Cape Town area. The object of the tests was to determine the effect environmental conditions have on the physical properties of the outer skin of concrete. The laboratory work involved the exposure of three concrete …

The influence of curing techniques and chemical admixtures on the properties of concrete
The deterioration of concrete in South Africa is becoming of major concern to the construction industry. The maintenance of reinforced concrete structures is an extremely expensive exercise and is a continuing necessity. Concrete curing is a practice that is understood to be a necessity within …

Thermal curing of concrete with conductive polymer technology.
Concrete is used on the majority of all construction projects. It is manufactured using the core constituents of a cement binder, typically Portland Cement, proportions of coarse and fine aggregates and water. The strength development of concrete is achieved by the addition of water that reacts …

Laminar cracking in post-tensioned concrete nuclear containment buildings
… the long-term integrity of post-tensioned concrete containment buildings (PCCs) is necessary for continued operation of the reactors they house. In 2009, during preparations for a steam generator replacement, extensive subsurface laminar cracking was identified in a portion of the Crystal …

Drinking Water Treatment Waste as an Alternative for Internal Curing and Cement Replacement in Concrete
Concrete can be a highly durable construction material when permeability is low. Hydrating cement paste shrinks through several mechanisms broadly grouped into autogenous and drying shrinkage. These mechanisms cause cracks which become high permeability routes for water and aggressive ion movement, …
