Original Abstract

One of the main factors for a final surface quality, at the process of concreting large slabs, is a guarantee of minimum evaporation of water necessary for hydration. Therefore a new material based on polymer resin was developed for protection of hydrating concrete. The goal of this work is a comparison of resistance of treated and untreated concrete and evaluation of applicability of specific tested materials including a determination of testing methodology. During a proper treatment of concrete it is necessary to provide enough of water for hydration and reduce undesirable tensile and compressive stress in concrete structure, which can be caused by rapid drying of concrete surface.
