Method Statement Concrete Curing REV01

Concrete must be cured after casting and finishing to allow the hydration reaction to continue fully developing the concrete's desired properties and strength. Curing involves maintaining moisture content through methods like spraying water multiple times per day, applying curing compounds, or covering with wet burlap. For slabs, covering the entire surface with saturated fabric and keeping it continuously moist for 4 days is effective. Curing correctly helps concrete gain strength and durability.

Method Statement
Concrete Curing

I. Introduction
Curing is the process of maintenance satisfactory moisture content or humid
condition in concrete for certain period. Curing is done to complete the hydration
reaction, so may continue until the desire properties are developed to a sufficient
strength.

II. Curing Method


i. Spraying Water & Curing Compound

1. Concrete must cure after concrete casting and finishing in early period of
hydration. Water is sprayed on the concrete through a hose or by spray
pump of several times during each day to maintain sufficiently moisture
for at least 4 days.
2. For vertical walls, columns, beams and shear walls, sprinkle water at least
3 times a day for 4 day. This required at least 3 cycles for per day with
interval of 4 hours.
3. If shortage of water supply, curing compound to be applied on concrete
surface using brusher or roller as soon as possible after final trowelling, it’s
to prevent premature water loss due to evaporation. For vertical surfaces,
apply immediately after removal of formwork.

ii. Wet Gunny Bags

1. For slab structures, wet gunny bags coverings method of curing is applied.
This method can be achieved by applying coverings that are saturated with
water. Care should be taken to cover the entire surface with wet fabric,
including the edge of slabs. The covering should be kept continuously moist
so that a film of water remains on the concrete surface throughout the curing
period. Best way is to keep the concrete under wet gunny bags for 4 days
and then commence water by way of ponding or spraying.
