- In anarid region, concrete placed as a road slab or roof slab gets dried up in a very short time, say within 2 hours.
- This condition should be maintained for 24 hours or at least till the final setting time of cement at which duration the concrete will haveassumed the finalvolume.Normally curing is done for 28days at 90% of strength gain is achieved
- Until maximum design strength is achieved (should be 28 days): Concrete does not gain strength by "Drying out". It gains it through a process known as hydration. The road slabs used as an example in the first post will still undergo hydration once water makes contact with the concrete. (rain). k.k
