Home / Principle of Cold Joints

A cold joint in concrete construction is a plane of weakness that forms when new, wet concrete is poured against concrete that has already begun to harden. This discontinuity occurs because the older material has passed its initial setting time, preventing a true chemical bond with. However, even in this robust material, issues can arise, and one of the common problems is the formation of cold joints in concrete.
