Using the maturity method in quality control of cold weather concrete

적산온도에 의한 동절기 콘크리트의 품질관리

The prediction of the strength of cold weather concrete and the analysis of the insulating material effect were performed to apply the prediction function with maturity concept for quality control of them in this study. The several results driven from above processes were summarized as followings. First, the difference between the temperature of cylinder covered with insulating materials and that of cylinder without them was $4.5\~6.0^{\circ}C$. Second, the maturity of concrete was suggested to be keep higher than $96\~115^{\circ}C{\cdot}D$ until at least 7-day and the temperature of fresh concrete was suggested to be keep above $10^{\circ}C$ directly after set.
