Abstract

The effect of the curing conditions on two properties of concrete, strongly dependent upon the pore structure, namely the strength development and the carbonation rate, was studied in the laboratory. The influence of the cement type, mix proportions and specimen size on the measured properties is also discussed. The importance of the quality of the “covercrete” for good durability is emphasized.
