Comparitive study between the compressive strength of traditional curing and accelerated curing of concrete

Abstract

Generalized association between compressive strength achieved after 28 days and accelerated compressive strength achieved after 24 hours for all the grades of concrete is provided in IS Code. This paper intent at evolving the comparison between accelerated action curing and traditional action curing for specific grade of concrete.. These techniques are particularly helpful within the manufacture trade, wherein high early age strength permits the removal of type work at intervals twenty four hours, thereby reducing the cycle time, leading to value saving edges. The most usually adopted natural process techniques are steam natural process at region pressure, heat water natural process, boiling water natural process and autoclaving. Accelerated curing results are obtained after twenty four hours to predict the twenty eight days compressive strength.
