Curing plays an important role in strength development and long term durability of the concrete. In simple terms, concrete curing is the act of preventing the water contained within the concrete itself from dissipating out too quickly (usually through the surface of the slab). Curing the slab can effectively slow this process down. The following methods can be used:
