Is temperature a factor in placing new concrete?
Temperature is an important factor in order to properly cure concrete. Too much water can be lost on newly placed concrete if performed on a hot day. If the temperature is close to the freezing mark, hydration is slow to nearly a standstill. Under these conditions, the concrete will cease to strengthen and affect other desirable factors. During the curing period, the temperature of new concrete should not be allowed to drop below 10 Celsius (50 Fahrenheit).
