Factors affecting of Shrinkage of Concrete. One of the most important factors that affect shrinkage is the drying condition or in other words, the relative humidity of the atmosphere at which the concrete specimen is kept. If the concrete is placed in 100 percent relative humidity for any length of time, there will not be any shrinkage, instead, there will be slight swelling. The
· There are several factors which influence the durability such as water to cement ratio, concrete compaction, concrete curing, and age of concrete. So, such factors shall be taken into consideration during mix design and construction of concrete structure. Factors
· This paper deals with the effects of several factors, such as CO 2 pressure, curing time, watertocement ratio and continued curing after CO 2 curing on temperature profiles, CO 2 curing degree and strength of concrete. Results indicated that the accelerated reactions between CO 2 and cement minerals happen mainly during the first 15 min regardless of CO 2
· Factor affecting Curing Time of Concrete To avoid premature drying out especially from wind and solar radiation To avoid leaching out rain and flowing water To avoid rapid cooling after the first few days of placing

Factors affecting concrete strength Concrete porosity: voids in concrete can be filled with air or with water. Air voids are an obvious and easilyvisible example of pores in concrete. Broadly speaking, the more porous the concrete, the weaker it will be. Probably the most important source of porosity in concrete is the ratio of water to cement in the mix, known as the ''water to

Dedicated especially to my father, mother and
· The steamcuring concrete in this study has lower slump, which is 10–30 mm, hence, a suitable vibration method must be selected. The content of UFA, pulverized slag, and water content are the main factors affecting the compressive strength of steamcuring concrete. The preheating time and silica fume have influence on early compressive of steamcuring concrete
Factors Affecting Strength. Various factors that affect the strength properties of hardened concrete are as follows. Curing conditions, humidity; Temperature; w/c, (inversely related) Abram''s law; Air content, (inversely related), short and long term; Aggregate characteristics, roughness,grading, mineralogical.
Proper curing should be done in the initial stages of concrete hardening as it will result in good durability of concrete. Insufficient curing may lead to the formation of cracks due to plastic shrinkage, drying shrinkage, thermal effects etc. due to which the durability decreases.

Aggregates are the key factors that will affect the impact strength of the concrete under aggressive load condition. Good quality aggregates will absorb less water content that is meant for hydration of cement. 5 Grading of Aggregate. Grading of aggregates determines the particle size distribution of aggregates. It''s the most important factor for concrete mix. There are three types of
Effect of Curing on concrete performance The purpose of curing is to ensure that the concrete does not dry out prematurely, but retains moisture so that it will build up strength and gain durability and resistance to wear. The concrete should be kept continuously damp for at least 7 days to achieve satisfactory curing.
In this study, a model was proposed to describe the CO 2 curing of concrete. Then, it examined the effects of several factors, including preconditioning parameters, compaction pressure, CO 2 concentration and pressure on CO 2 curing kinetics of concrete compacts. Results indicated that a dry preconditioning before CO 2 curing was critical for compacted concrete samples to achieve high CO
Techniques for Curing. Many factors affect the rate at which water evaporates from freshly placed concrete. This includes air temperature, humidity, concrete temperature, and wind speed. As a result, many techniques have been developed to help concrete retain moisture at the early ages. These methods are used to: Maintain the presence of water in the concrete during the early hardening
· The fresh geopolymer concrete was poured into steel cubic moulds in two equal layers. The concrete samples were vibrated on a vibrating table. After finishing, the moulds were covered with plastic film and then cured in an oven at a temperature of 80 °C. After heat curing for 24 h, the specimens were removed from the oven and demoulded.

Factors Affecting Strength and Durability of Concrete Made with Various Cements K of concrete. Traditional factors such as cement content and watercement ratio were not intended to be variables. These two factors have a profound influence on the strength and durability of concretes made from a single cement. Within each of the four concrete types examined in
· 3. Curing of Concrete. It is obvious that curing of concrete substantially influences the permeability of concrete. Sufficient curing allows proper cement hydration. Subsequently, pores in concrete would be filled with hydration product. 4. Other Factors. There are other factors that affect concrete permeability, but are not as influential as
Studies on some factors affecting CO2 curing of lightweight concrete products.
