Overview
Precast concrete production widely uses steam curing to accelerate the concrete strength attainment. Achieving one-day target strength in the range 27-31 MPa by accelerated curing methods allows the precast manufacturer to prestress the concrete element onsite and thereby helping to reduce the production cycle time. However, the durability of steam-cured concretes is often questioned due to the possible occurrence of delayed ettringite formation (DEF) where the formation of ettringite in later ages.
