Concrete Curing Time

Concrete Curing Time

Concrete Curing Time

(OP)
Hi, I'm looking for a plot of concrete curing time vs thickness (any exposed dimensions of foundation) for a given f'c and/or water content. What I would like to know is time it takes to cure a massive thick concrete pad (4~8' thick x 30' x 30') for varying f'c. Does anyone have any papers or experience with this? Thanks in advance!

RE: Concrete Curing Time

What you are looking for is maturity curves for concrete.

Such info is not available, to my knowledge, in a form you have described; however, you can determine similar by determining the maturity index for a variety of different concrete mixes.
