Abstract:

The hardened properties and durability of concrete are dependent on the moisture and temperature condition of the concrete during its hydration process. This review explores various methods of curing concrete focusing on their effectiveness in improving the performance and sustainability of concrete structures. Traditional method of curing such as ponding, sprinkling and the modern curing techniques such as curing compounds, self-curing agents and steam curing are compared. The advantages and disadvantages of these methods are highlighted and Water curing is found to be the most effective method of concrete curing, for it allows for the maintenance of adequate moisture and temperature, and it did not change the macro and microscopic structure of the concrete. . the research methodology are extensive literature, experimental studies and performance evaluations. The review aimed in providing a comprehensive understanding of the best curing practices for different project and working conditions.

Keywords:Concrete curing hydration process curing compounds steam curing self-curing agents concrete performance.
