High Early Strength Concrete
Date: 2/1/1929. Abstract: Concrete is a material which develops strength with age. The amount of strength acquired in any given period of time depends upon a number of factors to be dicussed in this paper. In the early days concrete dud not gain strength rapidly and it was found necessary to wait 28 days after making it before testing.
