ACCELERATED METHODS OF ESTIMATING THE STRENGTH

and that the strength gain due to elevated temperatures is also accelerated. Maturity Concept The compressive strength of concrete increases with time; the temperature at which it is cured also has a major influence.

Properties of concrete

Concrete has relatively high compressive strength (it doesn't crack under weight), but significantly lower tensile strength (it cracks when being pulled). The compressive strength is typically controlled with the ratio of water to cement when forming the concrete, and tensile strength is increased by additives, typically steel, to create reinforced concrete.
