Therefore, when concreting at cold temperature cannot be avoided, it is essential to have a minimum curing time at a temperature sufficiently above the freezing point of the concrete pore water, so that the early strength of concrete is high enough to resist the inner tensile stress caused by water freezing.

Bitter cold weather can make your home do strange things. Here's why your house is popping and what you can do to prevent frozen pipes.
When pipes get too cold and the water inside freezes, the expansion of the freezing water can cause the pipe to burst, which could lead to excessive water damage in your home. If a pipe bursts or ...
Jake Surratt, an agent with Country Financial in Springfield, said that people may need to worry about freezing pipes when temperatures hit around 20 degrees, although pipes can freeze and thaw ...

Photograph taken 21 March 2010 in Norwich, Vermont. Frost heaving (or a frost heave) is an upwards swelling of soil during freezing conditions caused by an increasing presence of ice as it grows towards the surface, upwards from the depth in the soil where freezing temperatures have penetrated into the soil (the freezing front or freezing boundary).
When winter arrives and temperatures drop, homeowners face numerous risks, particularly concerning their plumbing. Frozen or cracked pipes, malfunctioning radiators, flooding, and leaks are just a ...
Freezing drizzle is extremely dangerous to aircraft in icing conditions, as the supercooled water droplets will freeze onto the airframe, degrading aircraft performance considerably. The loss and accident of American Eagle Flight 4184 on October 31, 1994, has been attributed to ice buildup due to freezing drizzle aloft.
