In Korea, for about 2 months from late July to early September, it is expected that the average temperature will exceed 25 ℃, therefore, construction shall be conducted with hot weather concrete. In the case of the concrete placed at this time, if proper curing quality control measures are not established, problems such as plasticity, drying, shrinkage, and crack are caused. Therefore, in this study, an optimum method is proposed by mutually comparing the temperature history characteristics of the slab concrete in accordance with the change of surface coated curing material type.
In the modern construction industry, some methods for enhancing the quality of a building have been sought in various ways. Accordingly, this research team intends to mutually compare the overall kinds of quality of products, such as, the temperature characteristics of PE films and the exposed surface, etc., by applying the single-layered bubble sheet that was developed as a surface curing material for summer to the construction site for a wall-type Apartment which is under construction.
In this study, it is intended to find out clearly whether there are any initial damages by frost by analyzing the temperature characteristics of the reinforcing bars of each area depending on the changes of surface curing methods for the exposed areas of some reinforcing bars by modelling the wall reinforcing bar areas of a wall-type apartment.
The aim of the research is suggesting the curing method and selection of surface-covered curing materials with the goal of achieving non-cracking concrete by applying on the actually constructed top slab of the apartment and comparing the surface covering method using single-layered white bubble sheet with the surface covering method using polyethylene film.
