Summary
Two sets of experiments simulating the curing conditions of concrete caisson constructions in the Arctic were carried out at Sherbrooke University, Province of Quebec, Canada, and at Nanisivik, in the extreme north of Baffin Island, Canada (73¿̐ư north). More than 500 concrete specimens were tested for various ages and initial curing periods. After they were cast, the concrete specimens were initially cured at about 4¿̐ưC (39¿̐ưF) for 3 to 15 h and then immersed in seawater at 0¿̐ưC (32¿̐ưF) until testing. Their compressive strengths at different ages, up to one year, and Young's modulus at 28 days were compared with those of specimens of the same concrete and same age cured under room temperature.
