In any case, after the initial 24 hours the specimens are cured by immersion in saturated limewater or by storage in a moist room or cabinet meeting the requirements of ASTM C 511. In the event that the cylinders are intended for determining the time for safe removal of forms or when the structure may safely be put into service the cylinders are stored so that they receive the same curing and protection as those portions of the structure that they represent. In such a case, if the structure is given no moist curing the cylinders should also be treated that way. This is the only instance under which they could justifiably be &#8220;air cured.&#8221; Air curing (that is, with no attempt to retain moisture) results in far lower strength than curing by recommended methods.  <\/dd> <\/dl><\/div> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The early construction of a school building will be done during the months of February, March and April when the weather is quite variable.
