Properties of Concrete at Early Ages
Also Known As:
The ACI SP-95:1986 standard provides essential information about concrete's behavior and properties during the early stages of its curing process. This knowledge is crucial for engineers to ensure safe construction practices and to predict concrete deflections and crack resistance accurately.
The standard covers various topics related to concrete at its early ages. It includes discussions on field control and monitoring of concrete strength gain, the early-age behavior of reinforced concrete members, and mechanical properties in young concrete. There are also sections on early age shear strength, the effect of early age construction loads on the long-term behavior of slab structures, and the effect of accelerated curing.
The standard's table of contents highlights specific topics covered in the publication. These include temperature-matched curing systems, curing technology at the Faroe Bridges in Denmark, thermal and thermomechanical analysis of hydrating cementitious plugs in boreholes, early-age shear strength of reinforced concrete beams, behavior of Portland cement mortar in flexure, and the effects of mix composition and compressive strength on the static and dynamic elastic modulus of concrete.
