Book excerpt: Excerpt from Influence of Temperature Upon the Strength of Concrete A large number of concrete structures are built during the late fall and early spring when the temperatures are low and usually varied. Very little information exists regarding the effect of var iations of temperature upon the setting action of concrete. Such information would be of the greatest value to contractors, for with it the time can be determined when the concrete will have gained sufficient strength to warrant the removal of the forms. Many of the Concrete failures of the past have been attributed to the exist ing temperature conditions and the lack of knowledge due to them.
