Curing and the durabilty of concrete

A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Engineering,
University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in
fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor
of Philosophy.
Johannesburg, 1994. / This thesis presents the details and results of an
investigation into the effects of early age curing on
the durability of concrete The two main objectives of
the investigation were:
to develop simple test methods, applied at
relatively early ages, for measuring the effects
of early-age moist curing on the advance of
hydration in the cover zone of concrete;
to quantify the effect of early age curing on the
durability performance of concretes of various
strength grades and made with different binder
types.
