The
concrete surfaces are kept wet for a certain period after placing of concrete
so as to promote the hardening of cement. It consists of a control of
temperature and of the moisture movement from and into the concrete. The term
curing of concrete is used to indicate all such procedures and process.
Period
of concrete depend on the type of cement and nature of work. For ordinary
Portland cement, the curing period is about 7 to 14 days. If rapid hardening
cement is used, the curing period can be considerably reduced.
