Check temperatures: While the concrete is being cured, verify the temperature using an infrared temperature gun. Make sure the concrete maintains a temperature of at least 40°F during its curing period. Guard against concrete cooling too rapidly: This can be done by gradually lowering the tempera...
While you can pour concrete in cold and hot weather, it’s necessary to take certain precautions to ensure the concrete sets properly. Your pavement repairs will not always conveniently fall at the times of the best temperatures for pouring concrete. For this reason, our team at UNIQUE Paving...
You know the old Boy Scout motto about being prepared—failing to be prepared is preparing for failure. Same goes for concrete work in general, but especially when cold weather comes on unexpectedly. To handle the cold, have everything you might need on hand and review these tips:...

Continuous temperature monitoring, particularly at delivery and during early age, is essential to pouring concrete in hot weather to ensure that the concrete does not exceed maximum temperature specifications. Though thermometers can be used to measure concrete upon delivery to the site, an embedded mo...
Pouring Concrete on Frozen Ground When pouring your concrete, the placement of your slab factors into the effectiveness of the concrete curing conditions. Frozen ground can settle when thawed, causing the concrete to crack. The fresh concrete closest to the ground will also cure slower than the ...
The article discusses WeatherAPP, a smartphone application from Holcim that provides a four-day forecast for temperature, wind speed, and humidity, useful information to those pouring concrete. WeatherAPP can help prevent plastic-shrinkage cracking by calculating the likelihood of that happening under ...
Before concrete pouring should know the weather situation in a timely manner. 在具体瓦砾最大微粒大小和转达的管子直径的比率适当为1:3,沙子比率应该在40% ~ 45%,水水泥比率之间应该在0.5 ~ 0.55之间,暴跌应该在15之间到18 cm。 在混凝土倾吐应该及时之前地知道天气情况。 [translate] ...
In cold weather, the temperature of the concrete can be controlled by providing appropriate curing conditions to maintain insulation and strength gain, such as the use of heating systems. High curing temperatures can also be controlled when mass pouring with cooling pipes. ...
