Protection of Newly Placed <\/strong>Concrete Curing Time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Newly placed Concrete Curing Time in the initial stages of setting(up to 12-24 hrs.) should be protected by approved means from frost, mist-, rain and drying winds. Exposed faces of concrete shall_be kept wet by approved means for seven days after placing or for three days if rapid hardening cement is used. The concrete shall be covered with a layer of gunny bags, canvas, hessea or similar absorbent materials and kept constantly wet for seven days from the date of placing of concrete(More details IS-456-2000).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the later stages of hardening(after 12-24 hrs.) concrete\ncan be cured by ponding and flooding with water for keeping it constantly wet\nor by applying some curing compound or water proofing coating(which won’t allow\nconcrete water to go out).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rate of hardening of concrete can be increased i.e. concrete curing time can be reduced by<\/p>\n\n\n\n
