Curing

The document discusses different methods of curing concrete including supplying additional water through ponding, spraying or saturated coverings. Sealing in the mixing water with plastic sheets or curing compounds is also discussed. Curing requires adequate moisture, temperature and time for the concrete to develop strength, watertightness, abrasion resistance and freeze-thaw resistance.
