Bakgrunn:
Infrastructure projects consumes a large volume of concrete, and cement production alone contributes to more than 5% of annual anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions.
The strength of concrete structures varies with a number of variables, among them curing time. Normally we use the strength after a curing time of 28 days as the design criteria.

Kort beskrivelse av oppgaven:

In this project, we seek a better understanding how variations in curing time would influence design of concrete structures (volume), and thus environmental impact of concrete for various purposes in infrastructure projects.
