Planning Method of Curing Plan Based on Hydration Analysis of Cement

Abstract

We proposed a "curing plan planning method based on hydration analysis of cement" based on the positioning of curing in the current standard specifications for concrete. In the proposed method, first, the target hydration rate to satisfy the characteristic values of concrete is set. Then, a curing plan is designed so that the hydration rate of the cement obtained by the hydration analysis reaches the target hydration rate. This paper introduces the basic concept of the proposed method and the method of planning a curing plan. Furthermore, it shows examples of curing plans for various portland cements. The feasibility of rationally formulating a curing plan according to the structural conditions, concrete conditions, and construction environment conditions was confirmed.
