| Abstract: |
The use of high performance concrete requires also obtaining knowledge about factors influencing physico-mechanical properties of concrete. The paper describes knowledge on selected factors of different types of curing influencing physico-mechanical properties of concrete, these are namely compressive strength, density of hardened concrete and modulus of elasticity obtained by ultrasonic impulse method. Influence of curing was monitored on industrially produced concrete class C80/95. Samples of concrete were placed in 3 different curing environment – standardized curing (95%, t=2020C), laboratory environment (=30-35%, t=20-250C) and finally at climatological station in winter season (February till April) It was proofed that there is significant influence on all samples but in different rate. |
