“…EC uses fresh specimens with low resistivity [ 16 ] to generate uniform Joule heat under the current to accelerate the hydration of cement and enhance early mechanical properties. Existing studies mentioned in the literature [ 17 ] include the feasibility of EC application [ 18 , 19 ], field application [ 20 ], electrodes arrangement [ 21 ], curing regime [ 22 , 23 ], effects of hydration process and microstructure [ 24 , 25 ], mineral admixtures [ 26 ], durability [ 16 ], etc. The current mainstream research direction mainly uses Joule heating to solve the problem of winter construction at ultra-low temperatures [ 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 ], repair and reinforcement of building structures [ 31 ], and strengthening concrete [ 32 , 33 , 34 ].…”
