Abstract

Excessive evaporation of water (internal or external) from fresh concrete should be avoided; otherwise, the degree of cement hydration would get lowered and thereby concrete may develop unsatisfactory properties. Curing operations should ensure that adequate amount of water is available for cement hydration to occur. This paper discusses different aspects of achieving optimum cure of concrete without the need for applying external curing methods.
