Abstract

Curing is the process of maintaining hardened concrete under moist condition. Curing must be undertaken for reasonable period of time, to ensure that the concrete achieves its potential strength and durability. Efficient and uninterrupted curing contributes to the superior quality of concrete. This paper aims to compare the strength parameters of M40 and M25 grade concrete under various methods of curing. For this study, we adopted curing by Immersion and Surface Curing methods. We also adopted Membrane Curing, in which the curing would be done by the application of pigmented emulsions of linseed oil on the concrete surface. Finally, after the concrete specimens have undergone curing for a certain period of time, they are tested for strength parameters such as Compressive Strength and Flexural Strength and the conclusions are drawn from it.
