Abstract
The invention comprises a concrete form. The form comprises a first concrete forming panel having a first primary surface adapted for forming and contacting plastic concrete and a second primary surface opposite the first primary surface; a layer of insulating material contacting and substantially covering the second primary surface of the first concrete forming panel; and an insulating blanket adjacent the first concrete forming panel. A method of using the concrete form is also disclosed.

A concrete form comprising:
- a first concrete forming panel having a first primary surface adapted for forming and contacting plastic concrete and a second primary surface opposite the first primary surface;
- a layer of insulating material contacting and substantially covering the second primary surface of the first concrete forming panel;
- and
- an insulating blanket adjacent the first concrete forming panel.
1 more element
A method comprising:
- placing a first quantity of plastic concrete in a concrete form, wherein the concrete form comprises:
- a first concrete forming panel having a first primary surface adapted for forming and contacting plastic concrete and a second primary surface opposite the first primary surface;
- and
- a layer of insulating material contacting and substantially covering the second primary surface of the first concrete forming panel;
- moving the concrete form to an adjacent position, wherein at least a portion of the first quantity of plastic concrete is not within the concrete form;
- placing a second quantity of plastic concrete in the concrete form;
- and
- substantially covering the portion of the first quantity of plastic concrete not within the concrete form with an insulating blanket.
5 more elements
A method comprising:
- selectively adding heat to a first quantity of concrete so that the first quantity of concrete follows a first predetermined temperature profile;
- and
- selectively adding heat to a second quantity of concrete adjacent to the first quantity of concrete so that the second quantity of concrete follows a second predetermined temperature profile different from the first predetermined temperature profile.
