Effect of Hot Weather on Concrete

Short Summary

Hot weather significantly influences the fresh and hardened properties of concrete by increasing evaporation, accelerating hydration, reducing workability, and affecting long-term durability. This Technical Research Note summarizes the mechanisms of hot-weather concreting, its impact on strength development, setting time, evaporation, and curing, while presenting practical engineering recommendations for concrete production, placement, and quality control in high-temperature environments.
