The question was, “What about grout?” Based on my experience, I think using cement milk is a viable option—especially when working in extremely cold conditions. I ran a simulation using mixing water at 50°C. Simulation…
Preliminary Results of Compressive Strength Tests on Mortar with Increased Mixing Temperature During Winter θ7
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I wrote an article the other day about the “hot water mix” method lol. The “hot water mix” is the way to go for preventing freeze damage in winter spray-applied concrete! I’ll be preparing test specimens for this and conducting tests.
