An Experimental Study on Freezing and Thawing Characteristics of Mortar Influenced by Steam Curing Methods

증기양생방법에 따른 모르타르의 동결융해 특성에 관한 실험적 연구

In this study, the characteristics of freezing and thawing resistance, the compressive strength, and the change in height of cement mortar according to steam curing methods has been studied. To this end, the major test variables include the period of the early curing, curing temperature and the later curing. The strength test as well as volume variousness have been conducted to explore the characteristics of thawing and thawing resistance on the curing methods. The experimental results in the present study can be efficiently used to improve the characteristics of freezing and thawing resistance for concrete products carrying steam curing.
