How to Achieve Early Strength in Your Concrete Pavement

(How to Achieve Early Strength in Your Concrete Pavement)

Concrete is one of the most widely used building materials on construction sites. Testing is a huge part of the concrete process, starting from the mix design to form removal and throughout curing. It’s especially important to test the concrete during its early stages, or early strength evaluation.

Typically, the first few days after concrete placement is when your project really starts to take shape. In order to make this process quicker, you need a concrete that has high early strength. There are a few ways to achieve this, including using an insulating blanket or curing at elevated temperatures. Both of these methods require extra time and equipment.

For a more cost-effective solution, Fritz-Pak’s Non-Chloride Accelerator can help you develop high early strength. This admixture is specially formulated to speed up the hydration of cement and water, helping it achieve strength in just a few days. Unlike other concrete hardening accelerators, it’s safe to use for your project and doesn’t negatively impact the final strength of your concrete.

In addition to increasing early strength, this admixture also reduces drying shrinkage. Microscopic tests show that the admixture promotes the formation of expansion products that decrease the total drying shrinkage at two and three d after mixing. This means that your recycled concrete pavement will have a lower permeability and higher resistance to early cracking. This results in you being able to open the roadway or runway sooner than if you used conventional concrete mixtures.
