Effectiveness of Curing Compound on Concrete

Abstract

In construction industries concerte are basic requirement to built any construction. Concrete is manmade material which is used all over the world. Curing is the most important factor of the concrete to perform planned functions throughout designed life of structure while immoderate curing time may intensify the construction cost of project and irrelevant delay of project, where there is deficiency of water and on downhill surfaces where curing with water is problematic and in cases where large areas like pavement have to be cured. As stated earlier about the conventional curing methods the use of membrane curing compounds is very important from the frame of reference that water resources are getting precious every day. The upgrading in the construction and chemical industries have lead the way for development of new curing techniques and construction chemicals such as Membrane curing compounds, Self curing agents, Water proofing compounds. In this paper we will compare results of different grade of concrete and curing compounds with various climatic changes.
