Abstract:
Standard curing involves initial curing at the job site under stipulated conditions. Field observations, however, show that on-site initial curing is often not done in accordance with ASTM C31/C31M. It should be possible to improve initial curing of acceptance test specimens by implementing the recommendations in this article.
