  • Why you Cure Concrete ?




















    Curing serves two main purposes:

    * It retains moisture in the structural members/ concrete specimens so, that the concrete continues to gain strength.

    * It delays drying shrinkage until the concrete is strong enough to resist shrinkage cracking.
