A New Approach to Cold-Weather Concreting. Ice Engineering. Number 28, August 2001
Since the 1930s, the primary approach to cold-weather construction has been to avoid freezing of the concrete during the curing period. The contractor must ensure that the concrete is delivered warm to the construction site, is placed on thawed surfaces, and is kept warm by insulation or by heated e...
