  • Abstract
    The problem of the distribution of heat in long curing beds used for the accelerated curing of concrete by electroheat is considered. A travelling wave solution is obtained for two configurations using experimental values of the electrical properties of concrete. From these solutions, recommendations are made regarding the optimal electrical layout to allow accelerated curing to be carried out while achieving the highest possible quality of the material
