Review article

The article presents the results of the study of heat fields and temperature gradients on the surface of shungite containing concrete under electrode heating during cold water concreting. There has been established a possibility of increasing the efficiency of electrode heating during winter concreting and achieving a more uniform temperature in the entire volume of the concrete structure, which prevents a decrease in quality due to the introduction of a ground conductive mineral shungite, an active mineral additive (AMA) and a plasticizing additive (PA) into the concrete mixture. Practical application of this method helps to increase duration of concrete electrode heating, reduce time of ultimate strength development of reinforced concrete structures and accelerate construction process in general.
