cold weather concreting

...There are various types of curing methods, such as sprinkling water on the concrete surface, pouring water on it, or covering the concrete surface with wet mats or wet sand, film curing, which covers the concrete surface with a film curing agent to prevent water evaporation, and steam curing, which uses high-temperature steam. In order to reach 70% of the 28-day strength, it takes about 4 to 14 days for ordinary cement and 3 to 7 days for early-strength cement when using wet curing. Cement reinforced concrete [Shigeyoshi Nagataki]
[Types of concrete]
Cold weather concrete is classified according to the temperature at the time of construction, and refers to concrete that is constructed when there is a risk of the concrete freezing during the curing period after pouring. The hydration reaction between water and cement slows down at low temperatures, and if the concrete freezes (-0.5 to -2.0°C), not only will the hydration not progress, but the quality of the finished product will also deteriorate significantly.
