Abstract :  Water curing is the most effective curing method to promote continuous hydration of Portland cement and cement supplementary materials in concrete. In practice, this ideal curing condition is provided for a limited period in concrete construction. Membrane curing is used to prevent the drying of freshly placed concrete surface and to minimize the risk of plastic shrinkage cracking, particularly in concrete slabs.
