Influencia de la temperatura de curado en la resistencia a la compresión del hormigón y parámetros mecánicos: módulo de elasticidad y coeficiente de Poisson

Abstract

The present research Project was carried out with the purpose of analyzing the influence of the curing temperature on the mechanical properties of concrete; by the test of cylindrical specimens cured in water under controlled temperature conditions, with values of 10 to 40°C. To carry out this analysis, the material characterization was carried out and a standard mixture with a characteristic compressive strength of (210 Kg/cm2) was determined by the method recommended by the American Concrete Institute (ACI 318S, 2005). It was possible to determine that the curing temperature, under laboratory conditions and complying with the procedures established in the current regulations, directly influence the hardening of the concrete, the higher the curing temperature, the concrete can develop greater initial strength.
