Compressive strength of concrete over cure time
Compressive strength of concrete over cure time
And how does that apply to support requirements of said concrete when it isn’t a support factor in the overall steel structure of the building.
I get what this graph implies, but how does the curing time of a section of concrete poured in an assembly factory beforehand and installed into a steel structure affect integrity of the structure stand as a whole as long as the cure time for days cured meets engineering requirements. The weight of it, cured or uncured, is still relatively still there. Seems to me curing and moisture conditions are much more controllable in an enclosed environment, and I can personally attest that curing in a hot zero moisture environment isn’t good. In my case it eventually became crumbling rotten concrete.
From everything I could see was that everything was preformed/poured and set before transport to assembly with the exception of weld/rivet work on the steel cross bracing. As long as it isn’t required to withstand full test/cure loads after a given time after completion, how does this graph change things?
