Concreting in cold weather requires special knowledge and skills to ensure accelerated hardening and high quality in plain- and reinforced-concrete structures. Cold Weather Concreting familiarizes concrete specialists with the characteristic features of concrete in cold weather, including the effects of frost, methods for hardening in subzero temperatures, and other challenges in cold-weather concreting. Both practical techniques and their underlying theories are covered. The book presents many methods for the thermal treatment of concrete by means of electric current--information previously available only in the Russian literature. It presents unique data in the form of diagrams, drawings, and tables, including a chart of the phase state of concretes of different strengths in the process of freezing at different temperatures, the variation of concrete strains in freezing and thawing, and a diagram of electric fields in concrete when electrodes are placed in front of stirrups.

Excerpt from Concreting in Winter But many large contracting companies, who have carried on their con crete work uninterruptedly with results as satisfactory as obtained during more favorable weather conditions, have proved that concreting is possible during periods of freezing weather if proper, simple precautions are taken. A knowledge of this has made the subject of concrete construction in winter of general interest to many users of cement; in fact, since it is a slack season many have found winter the best time of year for them to build with concrete. However, successful results depend upon exercising certain additional precautions beyond those that must be Observed during other seasons of the year. The object of this publication is to describe methods that should be followed to insure success in concreting carried on during cold weather.
