Testing Concrete: Methods of Accelerated Curing of Test Cubes

SKU146464161 Published by British Standards Institution BSI Publication Date1983-07-29 Pages CountPages10

The BS 1881-112:1983 standard outlines the various methods that can be used to accelerate the curing process of concrete test cubes. The standard specifically focuses on three defined temperature levels: 35°C, 55°C, and 82°C.

Accelerated curing is a technique used to simulate the effects of long-term curing in a shorter period of time. This allows for accelerated testing of concrete cubes, which are commonly used to assess the compressive strength of concrete. By subjecting the test cubes to higher temperatures, the curing time can be significantly reduced, leading to faster results.

The standard provides guidelines and protocols for carrying out the accelerated curing process, ensuring consistency and accuracy in the test results.
