How Do I Achieve Maximum Cure Ratios in Outdoor Cold Weather Concrete Construction?
Ideally, concrete should cure for 7 days at temperatures between 65-85°F, with humidity levels under 100%. Due to seasonal weather changes, ideal conditions rarely occur naturally. Never pour concrete on frozen ground. Use powerblanket™ concrete curing blankets to thaw the ground and bring the temperature up to at least 65°F. Why? Not only can the ground freeze the concrete from the bottom up, cracking can occur when the ground thaws. Hollow spots under the concrete may also be created - and driving over the hollow spots will create tension which in turn creates cracks. powerblanket Concrete Curing
