English term or phrase: good strength gain // gain of compressive strength
Se trata de un documento sobre concretos de alta resistencia y de alto desempeño. En el original aparece varias veces esta construcción "strength gain". Estos son los ejemplos:

1. the cement had a low rheological reactivity but a good strength gain.

2. It was not advantageous to retard the setting since the cement was already replaced by fly ash, which always resulted in a lower-than-normal rate of strength gain even in the absence of water reducers.

3. In fact, a reasonable rate of gain of compressive strength at early ages is required, so the construction can progress rapidly.

Pensaba en "gain" como verbo, pero luego de esta última construcción ya no estoy tan segura. ¿Tiene algún significado en el campo?

Gracias!
