I

Initial set

A degree of stiffening of the cement and water mixture. This is a degree less than final set and is generally stated as an empirical value, indicating the time in hours and minutes required for a cement paste to stiffen sufficiently to resist to an established degree the penetration of a weighted test needle. See false set, flash set, and set.

Initial stress

In pre-stressed concrete, the stresses occurring in the pre-stressed members before any losses occur. See pre-stressed concrete.
