Original Abstract

This paper shows an effect of demoulding time and different ways of curing on development and final strength in compression of the ultra - light concrete (ULC). It is obvious that the method of concrete curing according to standards is not real in practice. The question is how the curing of concrete „ in situ" can make the concrete worse, or whether it is good for it. 17 groups of specimens of ULC were tested during the research. The one third of specimens was demoulded after one day. The next third was demoulded after three days and the rest of specimens were demoulded after seven days. Three various curing ways were applied on each of these groups: dry, moist and wet storage. The paper reports and summarizes the results of these tests denoting possible influence of ways of curing on concrete strength. In the paper there is briefly described a composition and production of ULC used for the experiment.
