Original Abstract

Modulus of elasticity is an important feature of concrete, especially, in the case of concrete designed for pre-stressed constructions, such as bridges. This elasticity characteristics is largely affected by a method of curing concrete, in particular during the first few days after concreting. This deals with just the above mentioned issue. Standardized methods - ultrasonic pulse velocity method and resonance method - were used for ascertaining the dynamic modulus of elasticity. The outcome has a form of graphic and tabular summary of the development of modulus of elasticity as depending on the way of curing concrete.

Keywords
