Quick Set Concrete Curing - Vehicular Traffic
(OP)
I'm specifying a 3-day mix for quick set concrete for a mat foundation in a log handling equipment yard. How soon is too soon to let loaders drive over the concrete after it is poured? I've been trying to find some guidance on this in my concrete manuals and must be looking over it.
Thanks
Thanks

Course aggregate 3/4": 1800 lb
Fine aggregate: 1200 lb
Cement (type I/II): 900 lb
Water; 267 lb
Then it was juiced up with Grace Daratard-HC, Sika CNI, and BASF Glenium NS. It also had a few pounds of polypropylene fibres too.
It was a nice workable and pumpable mix. 4"+ slump. No entrained air.
Alternatively, on state highways bridges where deteriorated decks are replaced/repaired it is common for volumetric mixers to produce quick-set concrete using 'Rapid Set' cement from CTS in California. They have a DoT mix too. Open to traffic in less than 4 hours.
