This paper summarizes the conclusions drawn from experimental work carried out at the Cement and Concrete Association Research Station and else¬where concerning the principles underlying steam curing at atmospheric pressure.nConcrete which is not raised in temperature too rapidly after mixing is shown to gain strength during and after treatment in relation to its "maturity" (reckoned in temperature-time) approximately in accordance with the same law as does normally cured concrete. Concrete which is raised in temperature more rapidly is shown not to obey this law, and to he adversely affected in strength at a later age.
