i dont mean to sound rude, but i could have come up with something like that myself. forgive me, but concrete heating doesnt sound kosher to me, although admitedly i am a total schmuck when it comes to construction, cannot tell my bolts from my screws.

'pon my word, talgat, this IS THE place to know bolts from screws :-))) However, I guess "heating" is quite a method to assure concrete cures properly in low temperatures, if that is your topic ;-) E.g., http://www.tpub.com/content/engineering/14070/css/14070_294.htm note the "Temperature" section.

tollmuch, buddy, thanx for the link. u r right, of course it is THE standard practice of curing concrete in winter, it just smacked of a calque. i guess having been through the minefield of translating long enough, i have become too wary of easy, loan translations. btw, that site if urs is a real treasure trove of useful facts. so, thanx, , man, u really helped me here, in more ways than one.
