FOREWORD

0.1 This Indian Standard was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution
on 30 November 1978, after the draft finalized by the Cement and Concrete
Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division
Council.
0.2 Traditionally,
quality of concrete in construction
works is calculated
in terms of its 28 days compressive
strength.
This procedure
requires 28
days of moist curing before testing, which is too long a period to be of any
value for either concrete construction control or applying timely corrective
measures.
If after 28 days, the quality of concrete is found to be dubious,
it would have considerably
hardened
by that time and also might have
been buried by subsequent construction.
Thus replacement
of the concrete
mass of questionable
attributes becomes very difficult and often impractical. On the other hand, if the concrete is found to possess excessive strength
than required, it would be too late to prevent wasteful use of cement on

of concrete is not feasible for quality control.
0.3 What is essentially needed for assessing quality of controlled concrete
is an acceptance
test which can supply results, while the concrete is still
accessible
and sufficiently green to make its removal practicable,
that is,

within about 24 hours after casting.
methods employing accelerated
curing techniques, it is now possible to test
the compressive strength of concrete within a short period and thereby to
estimate whether it is likely to reach the specified strength at 28 days or
not.
0.4 The need for having a reliable
and fast method
for evaluating
controlled
concrete in the field using accelerated
curing technique was
recognized by Cement and Concrete Sectional Committee
and as a result,
the Committee
decided
to evolve a standard
method
of determining

0.5 This standard lays down the method of making, curing and testing in
compression concrete specimens cured by two accelerated methods namely
warm-water
method and boiling-water
method.
The method laid down
in this standard
may be used for quality-control
purposes, or for the
prediction of normal
strength of concrete at later ages, by the use of an
appropriate
correlation-curve
obtained
by testing normally-cured
and
accelerated
cured concrete specimens of the mix proportion and materials
to be used at the site. Such correlation-curves
prepared
on the basis of
some case studies have been given in Appendix A. In this standard,
the
method
of test has been so defined as to be readily applicable
to the
majority of test specimens made on construction
sites and to give results
of low variability.
0.8 High pressure
steam curing is also used as an accelerated-curing
method, but has not been covered due to its inherent
limitations
in application.
However, this method may be useful for internal quality control
purposes under special circumstances.
0.7 In the formulation
of this standard,
due weightage has been given to
international
coordination
among the standards and practices prevailing in
different countries in addition to relating it to the practices in the field in
the country.
Assistance
has also been rendered
by the researches
conducted by Cement Research Institute of India, New Delhi.
0.8 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular
requirement
of this
standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded
off in accordance
with IS : 2-1960*. The number of significant places retained in the rounded
off value ,should be the same as that of the specified value in this
standard.
1. SCOPE

AND

A-l. Accelerated curing of concrete hastens the process of hydration of
cement and as a result, a substantial proportion of the strength to be
attained in 28 days under normal curing conditions is achieved within a
shorter time. The rate and extent of hydration of cement under a particular curing regime depend mainly upon the chemical composition of
cement, water-cement ratio and mix proportions, which are considered to
be important parameters in the correlation of results from compressive
strength tests on specimens cured by accelerated curing method and normal
curing method.
The accelerated curing regime, in itself, is another variable in that
the higher temperature employed may alter the morphology of the hydration products apart from thermally activating the chemical reactions of
hydration of cement,
9
IS t 9019 - i978
A-2. The variability arising from the curing regime to be adopted, is
eliminated by standardizing them, as is-done in this standard.
Figures 2
and 3 (see Note ) show typical results on the correlation of compressive
strength of concrete specimens normally cured and accelerated-cured by
the Boiling Water Method and the Warm Water Method respectively.
It
is found that a correlation exists between the results obtained on concrete
specimens, cured by accelerated method and cured by normal method, for

that the strength of concrete after accelerated curing ( by either method)
is of the order of 50 percent of that obtained on normally cured, 28 days
old specimens. When results of concrete with specific ingredients and mix
proportions are considered, the dispersion of results is considerably

reduced, and the coefficient of variation of results from accelerated curing
methods may, in that case, be expected to be of the same order as
obtained in normally cured, 28 days conventional tests. Although the
tests have shown that the correlation between results from accelerated
curing method and normally cured 28 days conventional tests is not
materially affected by the chemical composition, fineness and strength of
cements, the mix proportions or use of some indigenous admixtures, it is
preferable to establish the actual correlation under site conditions for the
specific materials and mix proportions to be adopted, for use in each case.

  • 4. IS t 9013- 1978 Indian Standard METHOD OF MAKING, CURING AND DETERMINING COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH OF ACCELERATED-CURED CONCRETE TEST SPECIMENS 0. FOREWORD 0.1 This Indian Standard was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution on 30 November 1978, after the draft finalized by the Cement and Concrete Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council. 0.2 Traditionally, quality of concrete in construction works is calculated in terms of its 28 days compressive strength. This procedure requires 28 days of moist curing before testing, which is too long a period to be of any value for either concrete construction control or applying timely corrective measures. If after 28 days, the quality of concrete is found to be dubious, it would have considerably hardened by that time and also might have been buried by subsequent construction. Thus replacement of the concrete mass of questionable attributes becomes very difficult and often impractical. On the other hand, if the concrete is found to possess excessive strength than required, it would be too late to prevent wasteful use of cement on Hence, standard 28 days cube testing uneconomical mix proportioning. of concrete is not feasible for quality control. 0.3 What is essentially needed for assessing quality of controlled concrete is an acceptance test which can supply results, while the concrete is still accessible and sufficiently green to make its removal practicable, that is, With the assistance of reliable test within about 24 hours after casting. methods employing accelerated curing techniques, it is now possible to test the compressive strength of concrete within a short period and thereby to estimate whether it is likely to reach the specified strength at 28 days or not. 0.4 The need for having a reliable and fast method for evaluating controlled concrete in the field using accelerated curing technique was recognized by Cement and Concrete Sectional Committee and as a result, the Committee decided to evolve a standard method of determining 3
  • 5. 18 J 9013 - 1978 compressive methods. strength of test specimens cured by accelerated curing 0.5 This standard lays down the method of making, curing and testing in compression concrete specimens cured by two accelerated methods namely warm-water method and boiling-water method. The method laid down in this standard may be used for quality-control purposes, or for the prediction of normal strength of concrete at later ages, by the use of an appropriate correlation-curve obtained by testing normally-cured and accelerated cured concrete specimens of the mix proportion and materials to be used at the site. Such correlation-curves prepared on the basis of some case studies have been given in Appendix A. In this standard, the method of test has been so defined as to be readily applicable to the majority of test specimens made on construction sites and to give results of low variability. 0.8 High pressure steam curing is also used as an accelerated-curing method, but has not been covered due to its inherent limitations in application. However, this method may be useful for internal quality control purposes under special circumstances. 0.7 In the formulation of this standard, due weightage has been given to international coordination among the standards and practices prevailing in different countries in addition to relating it to the practices in the field in the country. Assistance has also been rendered by the researches conducted by Cement Research Institute of India, New Delhi. 0.8 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with IS : 2-1960*. The number of significant places retained in the rounded off value ,should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard. 1. SCOPE 1.1 This standard lays down the method for making, curing and testing specimens of concrete stored under conditions intended compression, accelerate the development of strength.

The internal dimensions of the tank shall be adequate to accommodate the required number and size of the test specimens such that test specimens can be easily removed. 2.3.2 The tank shall contain sufficient water and be controlled so that the temperature of the water around the specimens immersed in the tank is maintained at the desired level at all times except for a period not exceeding 15 minutes immediately after the immersion of a freshly made specimen into the tank. 2.3.3 A typical diagrammatic layout of a tank suitable for accelerated curing of test specimens is given in Fig. 1. 3. PREPARATION OF TEST SPECIMENS 3.1 The preparation of test specimen including sampling of materials, preparation of materials, proportioning, weighing, mixing, testing for workability, choice of the size of test specimens, compacting, and capping of specimen shall be in accordance with IS: 516-1959*, if tests are intended to draw correlation curve between the results from compressive strength tests on specimens cured by normal curing method and accelerated curing method. 3.2 If the tests are intended for control purposes, sampling shall be done in accordance with IS : 1199-1959t and choice of the size of test specimens, compacting, and capping of specimen shall be in accordance with IS : 516-1959*. 3.3 Immediately after moulding, each specimen shall be covered with a steel plate thinly coated with mould oil to prevent adhesion of concrete. 4.

INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS 10.1 Since strength requirements in existing specifications are not based upon accelerated curing, results from this method in checking the compliance of specified strengths at later ages shall be applied with great caution. 10.2 The results can be used in rapid assessment of variability control and signalling the need for indicated adjustments. for process 10.3 The magnitude of the strength values from strength tests is influenced by the specific combination of materi& Therefore the use of the results from either conventional tests at any arbitrary age or those from this method shall be supported by experience or correlations developed for the existing local conditions and materials ( see Appendix A ). APPENDIX A ( ClausesO. and 10.3 ) CORRELATION OF RESULTS FROM COMPRESSIVE TESTS ON SPECIMENS CURED BY NORMAL ACCELERATED CURING METHODS STRENGTH AND A-l. Accelerated curing of concrete hastens the process of hydration of cement and as a result, a substantial proportion of the strength to be attained in 28 days under normal curing conditions is achieved within a shorter time. The rate and extent of hydration of cement under a particular curing regime depend mainly upon the chemical composition of cement, water-cement ratio and mix proportions, which are considered to be important parameters in the correlation of results from compressive strength tests on specimens cured by accelerated curing method and normal curing method. The accelerated curing regime, in itself, is another variable in that the higher temperature employed may alter the morphology of the hydration products apart from thermally activating the chemical reactions of hydration of cement, 9
  • 11. IS t 9019 - i978 A-2. The variability arising from the curing regime to be adopted, is eliminated by standardizing them, as is-done in this standard. Figures 2 and 3 (see Note ) show typical results on the correlation of compressive strength of concrete specimens normally cured and accelerated-cured by the Boiling Water Method and the Warm Water Method respectively. It is found that a correlation exists between the results obtained on concrete specimens, cured by accelerated method and cured by normal method, for It is also found mixes employing different materials and mix proportions. that the strength of concrete after accelerated curing ( by either method) is of the order of 50 percent of that obtained on normally cured, 28 days old specimens.

IS I 9919 - 1978 reduced, and the coefficient of variation of results from accelerated curing methods may, in that case, be expected to be of the same order as obtained in normally cured, 28 days conventional tests. Although the tests have shown that the correlation between results from accelerated curing method and normally cured 28 days conventional tests is not materially affected by the chemical composition, fineness and strength of cements, the mix proportions or use of some indigenous admixtures, it is preferable to establish the actual correlation under site conditions for the specific materials and mix proportions to be adopted, for use in each case.
