• Abstract:
  Thirty-nine test panels were installed on three interstate bridges to evaluate several combinations of curing and protective treatments for concrete. Panels were cured with white pigmented liquid membrane and white polyethylene, both with and without subsequent treatments using linseed oil. One panel received a chlorinated rubber sealer marketed as a combined curing and protective material. On some panels a monomolecular film was used to reduce evaporation prior to regular curing. Detailed observations of construction operations and atmospheric conditions were recorded and important properties of the freshly mixed and hardened concrete determined. Periodic condition surveys are planned.
