Not curing history, exactly.
However, many of the developed models are dependent on calibration and/or concrete past history (e.g. mixture proportion, curing history, concrete mechanical properties, etc)., which reduces their utility for in-situ predictions.
Scott Truax wants to "cure history".
Like the Greek pharmakon, a word meaning both "poison" and "cure," history, tradition, and family both curse us and offer us the resources to overcome the curse.
In the field of concrete technology maturity methods are routinely used for assessing materials of known curing history.
The complex chemistry active in the material requires specific consideration of the dilute intermediates in the reaction sequence in order to define a model of the reaction kinetics applicable to all time-temperature cure histories.
The cure history dependent residual deformation in a thermosetting composite laminate was investigated using bi-lamina strip sample with [0/904] stacking-sequence.
A large campaign of microindentation tests was carried out at different relative humidities, loading histories, curing times, and load levels for both creep and relaxation testing.
Furthermore, hydration kinetics of the Portland cement employed in the concrete mix design was characterized by isothermal heat-flow calorimetry, giving access to the degree of hydration history for the various curing temperature histories.
