Environmental factors, such as low and high temperatures, significantly impact the strength, durability, and fresh properties of conventional concrete. These conditions not only affect the strength and durability characteristics of concrete but also its transportation, placement, and curing conditions. Concrete, when properly designed, cured, and placed, can be a highly durable construction material. However, certain physical and chemical influences can hinder concrete from achieving its expected strength and durability. This study examines how climate parameters, specifically maximum temperature, minimum temperature, and precipitation, and their threshold values, will affect concrete pouring activities in Kırıkkale, Turkey, in the future. The findings suggest that as air temperatures rise, concrete pouring performance is expected to increase during winter months, when pouring was previously difficult or impossible. However, in summer months, rising maximum temperatures could lead to decreased performance in concrete pouring activities unless appropriate measures are taken.
