In this paper. variations of the period of cold weather concrete in Korea are discussed based on the climate data of Korean Meteorological Adminstration(KMA). Determination of the period of cold weather concrete with the region is done by following Korean Concrete Institute(KCD, American Concrete Institute(ACD and AIJ(Architectural Institute of Japan(AIJ) specification. Present study is compared with previous study done by the authors. Period of cold weather concrete is found to increase with high altitude and in-land and mountain area. Period of cold weather concrete by present study is shorted compared with that of previous study by about 3~6 days regardless of applied specification. Especially. the period of cold weather concrete at southern region near sea is reduced remarkably compared with that of previous study. This is due the rise of mean air temperature by global warming. In the scope of present study, period of cold weather concrete is provided with table and map diagram.
