Abstract
This thesis presents the details and results of an
investigation into the effects of early age curing on
the durability of concrete The two main objectives of
the investigation were:
to develop simple test methods, applied at
relatively early ages, for measuring the effects
of early-age moist curing on the advance of
hydration in the cover zone of concrete;
to quantify the effect of early age curing on the
durability performance of concretes of various
strength grades and made with different binder
types.
