Curing Period


10.4 Curing Period

            In general, curing period depends upon several important factors, which are type of cement, mix design, required compressive strength and form of concrete specimen, curing temperature and humidity. These criterions apparently have formed a significant factor in determining curing period, which could be either 1 month for dam concrete or just 3 days for concrete that constituted high volume of cement, particularly the early strength type of Portland cement.
            Nonetheless, almost for every typical structures, curing period is about 3 days to 2 weeks as alternatively adjusted according to above mentioned criteria but the period that most likely used for typical Portland cement is about 1 week.
            Curing period of concrete that produced within Thailand is shown in the Table 10.3 below.
