- Reducing the cement content by the use of admixtures (but not below that
required
for durability)
- Using a cement with a lower heat of hydration.
- Restricting the time between mixing and placing of the concrete to not more
than 2 hours
- Providing approved surface insulation continuously over all exposed surfaces to
prevent draughts and to maintain uniform temperature through the concrete mass
