The simple truth of the matter is that concrete placed and cured at a moderate temperature (60° to 80° F) will outperform +90° F concrete in strength and durability. If you are looking for superior concrete, control the temperature.

normal it's 28 and reaches max. to 37 after that  we can use ICe in concrete mix and spread the shuttering formwork with water prior to casting
