Abstract
The problem of the distribution of heat in long curing beds used for t he accelerated curing of concrete by electroheat is considered. A trav elling wave solution is obtained for two configurations using experime ntal values of the electrical properties of concrete. From these solut ions, recommendations are made regarding the optimal electrical layout to allow accelerated curing to be carried out while achieving the hig hest possible quality of the material.
