1. Determination of the strength of young concrete

1.1 Introduction to the strength of young concrete

The strength of young concrete is an important property for building and civil engineering structures. It determines the concrete's ability to withstand the loads and stresses imposed by the environment and conditions of use. The strength of young concrete depends on many factors, including the ambient temperature and the composition of the concrete.
