A temperature range which does not cause evaporation of water in cement is good for
curing. Generally, a temperature range of 20 - 35oC is good for curing. For mass structures curing is done at night to reduce the loss of water due to evaporation.

Does cold weather effect gunite?
Yes, Gunite is a dry, powdered cement and aggregate mix sprayed onto a pool underlayment structure, typically metal rebar and mesh, under high pressure.Trying to apply or cure gunite near freezing temperatures can affect curing strength and a sub-par installation result may occur.
What does effect carbon dioxide in the air?
Combustion (+). Decay of matter containing carbon(+). Respiration, Animals(+). Respiration, Plants(-). Oceans(-). Production of cement dust(+). Curing / aging of concrete(-).
Is concrete made of sedimentary rock?
The Portland cement used to bind the aggregate materials of concrete together is made primarily from cooked limestone, baked at high temperatures in giant tilted rotating drums. The aggregate rock can also be made from limestone.
How is cement formed from limestone?
cement is formed from limestone by combustion of limestone ( heating of the limestone)!
Can you lay cement in cold weather?
You can lay cement in cold weathers as long as it isn't raining.
What are the disadvantages of cement?
Disadvantages of cement are,Cement are subjected to crackingIt is very difficult to provide idoneous curing conditionsNot ideal for situation when settlement is expected.
What is the minimum curing period when tiles are laid in cement mortar?
2dAY
What is the effect of compaction and curing on the durability of concrete?
proper compaction and proper curing of the concrete gives good concrete. for compaction, it lessen the air voids or micro space between the aggregates of the concrete, those voids are very little which is not really visible. for curing, it lessen the heat of hydration of the cement.
What is the strength of portland pozolona cement birla Shakti Indian cement company crack resistant cement after 28 days of curing?
Because this cements this cements water absorps maximum.
What is cured concrete?
The curing of concrete is a reaction between the type of cement in the concrete and the water. This reaction between cement and water is known as hydration. When the concrete sets and gains strength through this process it is known as curing. Test cylinders of concrete for construction projects are placed in a curing room where they are continuous misted with water at 23 +-2 degrees Celsius for 7 and 28 days before testing. This provides adequate curing.
How is limestone put in cement?
Limestone is crushed and baked at high temperatures to produce the main ingredient for Portland cement.
What are the concrete mix additives for fast curing?
You could add lime putty. But the best solution would be to get a cement that sets in the amount of time you need, a 'slow setting cement'.
Describe the factors affecting the normal consistency of cement?
Cement fineness: Finer cement particles generally require more water for standard consistency. Cement composition: Different types of cement with varying compositions can exhibit different normal consistencies. Curing temperature Time of testing Humidity Testing procedure Chemical admixtures

Is Cement not good for animal?
Yes, cement is not good for any living organism.
What are the chemical and physical properties of cement?
Three varieties of the strength of cement are measured – compressive, tensile, and flexural. Several factors affect the strength, such as water-cement ratio, cement-fine aggregate ratio, curing conditions, size and shape of a specimen, the manner of molding and mixing, loading conditions, and age. I hope it will assist you.
Why do birds migrate to the south curing winner?
They only do that in the northern hemisphere. They are searching for warmer temperatures and/or better food supplies.
