Technology of the Early Age Concrete Loading

AbstractThe article reviews the current early age loading of monolithic structures technologies. The author shows that a standard concrete strength maturation without considering the loading stages results in substantial increase of costs of works, especially during the winter period. Based on experimental research, the formulas for calculating the required strength to the loading moment of monolith foundations, walls, columns, coverings are suggested. The instructions on the designing of the early loading technology are given. The results of in-place early age loading tests of the coverings are presented. The technology of the tiered monolithic structures heat treatment is described
