Abstract:
Variations in concrete compressive strength, flexural strength, and modulus of elasticity with time are discussed. Concrete specimens made from Types I and II portland cement were tested at ages between 1 day and 34 years. Relationships between the compressive strength at various ages and 28-day compressive strength are developed for specimens stored in moist and dry environments. Flexural strength and modulus of elasticity are related to the compressive strength.
