As temperatures drop and dry winds increase, concrete construction faces seasonal challenges. Without proper temperature control and curing, cracks, poor bonding, and delayed strength can easily occur.
Main Challenges
- Large day–night temperature differences → internal stress & cracking
- Strong winds and dry air → rapid moisture loss and shrinkage cracks
- Low temperature → slower hydration, weak early strength
Key Solutions
early-strength cement or admixtures for faster strength gain
aggregates dry and maintain mixing temperature ≥10°C
- Timely finishing and insulation curing
to prevent early cracking
- Monitor temperature continuously
to ensure stability and durability
Build smart, not seasonal.
Proper preparation, controlled temperature, and careful curing are the keys to ensuring concrete strength and durability in autumn.
