In this paper, evaluation of compressive strength development of concrete cured by microwave heating system is introduced. For this evaluation, core strength tests were conducted. Test results show that the development was accelerated by microwave heating system. And two parameters in a equation for predicting initial strength development were presented when using this system.
This study was carried out to evaluate effects of curing method and age on compressive behavior of steel fiber reinforced Alkali-Activated Slag(AAS) concrete. AAS and Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) material with specific compressive strength of 30MPa was reinforced with 0% to 1% steel fibers at the volume fraction. Two types of curing methods were used: water curing and exposed curing. Curing time is 3, 7, 28 day. Experimental results indicated that compressive strength, elastic modulus, compression index.
