Abstract:
Accelerated curing methods currently used in the concrete pipe industry are presented. Steam curing, water curing, steam injection directly into the interior of the pipe, direct-fired-moist-cured systems, vapor energy systems, and solar energy systems are discussed. Advantages and disadvantages of each sys-tem and methods of reducing curing costs are also covered.
