Concrete temperature can be measured directly by a mercury
thermometer or a bimetallic thermometer. It can also be
estimated using the expression
Hot-weather concreting
The mixing water has the greatest effect per unit weight of
any of the ingredients on the temperature of concrete, the use
of cooled mixing water and/or ice offers the best way of
lowering the temperature of concrete.
Water Requirement
