Following
are the purposes of the curing of concrete:
1.
The curing protects the concrete surfaces from sun and wind
2.
The presence of water is essential to cause the chemical action which
accompanies the setting of concrete.
3.
The strength of concrete gradually increases with age, if curing is
efficient. the increase in strength is sudden and rapid in early stages and it
continues slowly for an indefinite period.
4.
By proper curing, the durability and impermeability of concrete are increased
and shrinkage is reduced.
5.
The resistance of concrete to abrasion is considerably increased by proper
curing.
