RESEARCH OF HEAT AND MASS EXCHANGE PROCESSES DURING CONCRETE CURING

Abstract

The article examines the speed of strength growth during the heat treatment of concrete, the logarithmic increase in concrete strength, and the effect of heat exchange on the quality of concrete. An important point is the description of physical processes during the heating of concrete.

Heat treatment of concrete has a positive effect on its characteristics, such as strength, frost resistance, waterproofing and durability. Therefore, when developing new technologies for construction, it is important to take into account optimization of energy consumption and reduction of production time. In connection with the large consumption of electricity at enterprises, it is important to look for more efficient ways of its use. Currently, there is a tendency to develop new construction technologies based on alternative energy sources. Improper use of electricity jeopardizes the need to implement energy-saving measures in the country. The energy sector of Ukraine needs special attention from the state, including the stimulation of the use of alternative energy sources and the search for new solutions.
