Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A search was made for test methods to evaluate the effectiveness of curing concrete. Test methods that include water absorptivity (proposed ASTM test), capillary porosity, combined water, splitting tensile strength, and abrasion resistance were evaluated. Curing compounds having a wide range of water retention values and meeting the requirements of ASTM C 309-89 and CRD-C 300 were obtained for evaluation. A few curing compounds were prepared in the laboratory by diluting one of the CRD-C 300 curing compounds with the vehicle solvent furnished by the manufacturer to obtain curing compounds that would not meet the requirements of either specification. The water-absorptivity test and an abrasion test developed in the laboratory were used to determine the effectiveness of the different curing compounds for curing concrete. Curing compounds meeting the requirements of ASTM-C 309-89 were found to be as effective as curing compounds meeting the requirements of CRD-C 300 for curing concrete. Two of the curing compounds that did not meet the specification requirements were also found to be effective based on the water-absorptivity test method. The abrasion test shows promise as a test method for evaluating the effectiveness of curing and is less time consuming than the water-absorptivity test method. Keywords: Abrasion, Construction materials, Absorptivity, Membrane-forming curing compounds, Moisture retention, Portland cement concrete, Portland cement mortar. (JG).

This book was released on 1989 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Membrane curing compounds are widely used to cure concrete in highway construction. The function of these compounds is to form a membrane that helps retain moisture in the concrete slab, otherwise lost through evaporation. The amount of evaporation loss varies as a function of the environmental conditions and the temperature of the concrete mass during the curing period. This rpeort provides an evaluation of the performance of membrane curing compounds as related to concrete material properties such as tensile and flexural strength, stiffness, surface durability, and density. In addition to traditional testing methods, the non-destructive, in-situ, Spectral Analysis of Surface Waves method is also used to observe and measure material properties as a function of time. Testing can start at initial set or when the modulus of elasticity for concrete is about 10,000 psi.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excessive early-age concrete surface moisture evaporation causes many problems of concrete pavements, such as plastic shrinkage cracking and delamination; the use of liquid membrane-forming curing compounds is one of the most prevalent methods to mitigate the issues. However, the present standard test, ASTM C 156-98, "Standard Test Method of Water Retention by Concrete Curing Materials" has some inherent limitations in assessing the curing effectiveness of concrete. To better apply curing practices and qualify the curing compound, a new evaluation protocol is introduced in this study. The new protocol consists of using measured relative humidity and temperature to calculate an effectiveness index (EI) which serves as an indicator of the effectiveness of curing. Moistures loss and surface abrasion resistance measurements were made on concrete specimen, and were found to have significant correlation with EI, where higher EI were associated with lower moisture loss and higher surface abrasion resistance. EI was also found to be sensitive to ambient wind condition, types of curing compound and the application rate of the curing compound. Dielectric constant (DC) measurements were also made on concrete specimens indicating the free moisture content on the surface concrete. The DC measurements were also found to differentiate the quality of curing under different ambient conditions, with various types of the curing compounds and the w/c of the concrete mixture. The utility of using the new protocol to assess concrete curing compound effectiveness was also evaluated under the field condition. Both EI and DC measurements showed potentials to distinguish the curing quality for concrete pavement construction.

This book was released on 1968 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corps of Engineers 'Standard Practice for Concrete' prohibits use of curing compounds on concrete surfaces that are to be painted. Since substantial savings might be effected on some construction if curing compounds were available that could be painted over, a study was made to learn if there are curing compounds that can be successfully used as a base for paint, and to evaluate any located. A market analysis located six suitable compounds: two chlorinated rubber and epoxy base, two chlorinated rubber and paraffin base, a styrene-butadiene base, and an alkyd-base material. Seven paints were selected for testing with each curing compound: (a) exterior acrylic; (b) exterior polyvinyl acetate; (c) exterior and interior styrene-butadiene-acrylate; (d) exterior and interior epoxy polyamide; (e) interior, first coat latex, second coat alkyd; and (f) interior latex. To test the curing compounds, small concrete panels were coated with each compound; half were painted at 5 days and companion panels were painted at 60 days age; control panels were prepared by painting directly over the panels; test and control panels were exposed to various weathering conditions for 20 months. Results showed that all six curing compounds can be painted with most of the paints with no adverse effect when exposed indoors at moderate temperatures. For outdoors exposure in a moderate climate, painting over the compounds with exterior polyvinyl acetate paint produced a more durable surface than painted concrete. Styrene-butadiene-acrylate paint, however, did not produce as durable a painted surface as concrete. (Author).
