Curing of Portland Cement Concrete Pavements

Course Synopsis:

Did You Know?  Strength gain and fineness are the most important cement properties in determining curing requirements.

Curing is the process of deliberate control of moisture and temperature conditions within prescribed limits to allow concrete properties to develop and prevent damage as a result of drying and/or thermal cracking. This course provides guidance on details of concrete curing practices as they pertain to the specifications for and construction of Portland Cement Concrete Pavements.

Course Objectives:

This course teaches the following specific engineering knowledge and skills regarding Curing of Portland Cement Concrete Pavements:

• Introduction to Curing Concepts and Methods
• General Testing, Analysis, and Planning Before Construction
• The Initial Curing Period
• The Final Curing Period
• Termination of Curing and Verification of Curing Effectiveness
