Influence of earthquake disturbance on concrete strength at early age

Construction projects commonly run for years in earthquake zones always have certain seismic risks during the construction process. For early-age concrete that has not fully reached the design strength, whether earthquake action will affect its final strength, and to what extent, needs to be studied...
