Curing is a specific name given to the procedure that allows complete
hydration reaction to take place, so as to sustain continuous development of
concrete strength. The general practice often implemented is to provide water
to concrete when it is hardened.
In addition, these are
2 significant roles of curing, which are
1.
to
protect concrete from losing moisture and
2.
maintain
the suitable temperature within concrete
Also, the important objectives of curing are
1.
sustain strength
and durability of concrete
2.
prevent
concrete from cracking by means of maintaining suitable temperature within
concrete and minimizing the potential evaporation as much as possible.
In fact, curing may implicitly imply to
control of temperature, in which rise in temperature will accelerate the so
called hydration reaction vigorously and subsequently, induce a dramatic
enhancement of concrete strength at the early stage. However, for long term
aspect, such acceleration may rather result an adverse impact on deterioration
of concrete’s quality.
