Methods are given for curing structures and buildings, pavements and other slabs-on-ground, and for mass concrete. Curing methods for several specific catego-ries of cement-based products are discussed in this document.

Current curing techniques are presented; commonly accepted methods, procedures, and materials are described. Methods are given for curing pavements and other slabs on ground, for structures...

Typical methods include covering the concrete with impervious paper or plastic sheets or by applying a curing compound to form a membrane on the surface. Each curing method has advan-tages and disadvantages.

Proper curing of concrete is crucial to obtain design strength and maximum durability. The curing period depends on the required properties of concrete, the purpose for which it is to be used, and the surrounding atmosphere namely temperature and relative properties humidity.

Curing is the process of controlling the rate and extent of moisture loss from concrete during cement hydration. It may be either after it has been placed in position (or during the manufacture of concrete products), thereby providing time for the hydration of the cement to occur.

Concrete can be kept moist (and in some cases at a favor- able temperature) by three curing methods: 1. Methods that maintain the presence of mixing water in the concrete during the early hardening period. These include ponding or immersion, spraying or fogging, and saturated wet coverings. These methods afford some cooling through evaporation,

A variety of curing materials and techniques are available for use in con-crete pavement construction. Spraying of a liquid, membrane-forming curing compound is a commonly used curing method. Curing compounds are generally economical, easy to apply, and maintenance free. However, little is known about how different curing materials and tech-

To obtain a sufficient concrete quality, it is therefore necessary to have sound requirements on the curing. A proper curing is necessary to protect the concrete from a too early drying, harmful vibrations, too high thermal gradients, too low temperatures and erosion in the case of rain fall.

The aim of this paper is to summarize the various advancements in concrete curing methods in past few decades and to review published work which evaluate the curing process in real-world concrete structures. In modern era demands of concrete are increasing, while budgets are shrinking and raw materials are changing everyday.

In this review paper effort has been made to understand the working and efficiency of curing methods which are generally adopted in the construction industry and compared with the conventional water curing method.

Possible curing methods are outlined in the following table: Moisture Loss Prevention Supplying Supplemental Moisture. Curing Compounds. • Form a membrane over the top surface of the concrete preventing moisture loss .

Calcium Chloride Surface Apphcation This method, which usually calls for spreading two pounds of calcium chloride per square yard upon the surface, depends upon the ability of calcium chloride to absorb moisture from the air for its efficacy m curing concrete.

Concrete curing compounds are liquids that are applied to the surface of freshly finished concrete, they form an impervious film over the concrete surface to help retard moisture loss. Curing compounds must meet the requirements of AS3799 Liquid Membrane-Forming Curing Compounds for Concrete. TYPES OF CURING COMPOUNDS

The aim of this paper is to summarize the various advancements in concrete curing methods in past few decades and to review published work which evaluate the curing process in realworld concrete structures.

Procedure for a curing of concrete : Curing is done by draining water to the surface of the concrete. Water cooler than 5°C should not be used for this purpose. As the hydration reaction in concrete expells heat and keep concrete warm, Using cold water less than 5°C on concrete may lead to cracking & also alternate drying and wetting on the ...

Jan 1, 2018 · Curing has a strong influence on the properties of hardened concrete. With proper curing concrete becomes stronger, more impermeable, and more resistant to stress, abrasion, and freezing and...
