Steam Cured Self-Consolidating Concrete and the Effects of Limestone Filler
… mix designs containing 5% silica fume and steam cured at a maximum holding temperature of 55°C. This research also examines the resistance to delayed ettringite formation when the concrete is steam cured at 70°C and 82°C and its secondary consequences on the freeze-thaw resistance. The …

An investigation of the effects of freezing on portland cement concrete
… basis for some conclusions with regard to the curing of Portland cement concrete. Some of the more important conclusions are as follows l. A concrete, if it may be classed as such, consisting of fine aggregate, cement, and water, is not subject to the extreme effects of freezing as is a true …

Design and performance of cost-effective ultra-high performance concrete for prefabricated elements
… higher than 125 and 168 MPa under standard water curing and 1-d steam curing at 90 ⁰C. To further improve the properties, internal curing using pre-saturated lightweight sand, rheology control of the suspending mortar before steel fibers addition, and reinforcement of hybrid fibers and carbon …

Creep and Shrinkage of a High Strength Concrete Mixture
… temperature profile from the test beams during steam curing was used to produce match-cured specimens for laboratory testing. Two match cure batches were produced, along with two standard cure batches. Creep specimens from each batch were placed in the creep room and loaded to 30 percent of …

Implementation of Self-Consolidating Concrete for Bridge Applications
… casting, the SCC-2 mix required 2 nights of steam curing prior to detensioning, while the TVC needed only one. Temperature data collected during curing of the beams indicated maximum temperatures of around 160°F to 170°F, which fall below the PCI-prescribed threshold of 180°F. …
