Continuous vapor processes in newly laid concrete

This article presents the results of experiments on the physical processes that occur during the hardening process of concrete in dry hot-climatic seasons and the reduction of their negative effects - as well as on the physical and mechanical properties. Under the influence of solar radiation and high temperature, the amount of water in the newly laid concrete mixture begins to evaporate rapidly. As a result of intensive evaporation of water in the concrete mixture from the bottom to the top, interconnected pores are formed, as a result of which the concrete has a defective structure, and this situation leads to a decrease in concrete strength. As a result of dehydration of the concrete mixture, the cement hydration process slows down and may even stop. If the hardening of the concrete is not adequately controlled, its strength may be only 50% of the design strength. The duration of keeping newly laid concrete under polymer films is determined by the construction laboratory, taking into account specific climatic conditions. Covering the concrete surface with inventory thermal insulation coatings (ITVP). These covers are made by pulling two-layer polyethylene film on wooden or metal frames. They can also be folded and assembled. The effectiveness of this method is not very high, it is considered a waste product.
