| Abstract: |
The curing of concrete is extremely important for the durability of a reinforced concrete structure. In practice, due to the complex construction processes, the very limited phases and the lack of control, aftertreatment is often neglected by executing companies. Hence infrastructure operators are therefore very interested in having a robust, simple tool that enables aftertreatment to be easily checked and, as a result, to convey the importance of this process step to the client. In the project presented here, classic and novel test methods are presented and discussed, as well as their suitability for the detection of the aftertreatment quality on laboratory samples and subsequently on some real structures. |
