As Boris Skramtaev (1905-1966) puts in his preface the reasons for winter concreting come from the needs of the 2nd 5-year-plan. Indeed in this period, the Soviet Industrialization has embraced many constructions in the Arctic and the Far East, where the condition for the concreting were rough, and in some places, for example on Kolyma in in the areas under the supervision of ‘Dal’story’ on Far East, deep-frozen soil was common.
The format of the book is unusual – the Q&A consists of more than 300 questions on the subjects of: the influence of low temperatures on the strength of concrete, factors that accelerate
the setting and hardening of concrete, possible deformations, questions about how to conduct work in winter, calculation of concrete cooling and control of the entire process. The first segment includes the answers to the question why this even necessary and how is it possible. The first answer right away refers to American experience in this field, calling Soviet
builders to follow by example.
Interesting work on the important element of Industrialization in the Soviet Union.
