Characteristics of cold joints

Key characteristics of cold joints include: They are unplanned and unintentional, often caused by interruptions or delays in the concrete pouring process.

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 the fresh mix.

Impact of cold joints

Cold Temperatures: Cold weather can cause muscles and joints to tighten, increasing stiffness and reducing mobility. It can also affect the viscosity of synovial fluid — the natural lubricant in your joints — making it less effective at lower temperatures. Associations were found for different cold exposures and regional musculoskeletal conditions, but the heterogeneity and lack of studies impeded valid synthesis of risk magnitude, or meta-analyses. Joints often ache or feel stiff in cold weather, a widely reported phenomenon supported by scientific evidence. We spoke to an expert to find out why this happens - and how you can protect your joints.
