RE: How to get better concrete

in Architecture+Design3 years ago

Interesting technical tutorial @jhonnygo. For tropical regions, it's not typically a problem for concrete to cure properly due to their acceptable levels of humidity. Yet this doesn't mean that care in construction is overlooked and that the correct methods must not be implemented. I wonder how this situation would be in extremely hot zones like deserts and regions with freezing temperatures?

Sort:  

As I mentioned in the publication, you always have to cure the concrete, always, wherever you are, because you can have an ambient humidity of 90% to the point of raining one day and not the next.

When there are extreme climates, you have to use additives, either for freezing or for extreme heat, they are chemical additives to improve the performance of the cement, here there is a widely used brand called SIKA products.
