Original Abstract

The modulus of elasticity is one of the most important properties of concrete, especially during structural analyses of buildings. It is, among others, an important parameter in the calculation of concrete element deflection or during the design of pre- or post-tensioned structures. The modulus of elasticity is not a specific number. It is a property with a high variability of the final values, which depends on concrete composition (together with other factors). Some of the significant factors, which influence the final value of the elastic modulus of concrete, are also the means and quality of its curing, especially at the early stage of its setting and hardening. Apart from maintaining the temperature within the correct limits, it is important to focus on the moisture content of the concrete while it is being cured.
