Curing of Concrete in Cold Weather
After the placing of concrete the quantity of water present in it is saved .This saving of water in the fresh concrete is known as curing of saved. This quantity of water present in the concrete is necessary for the setting of cement .If this quantity of water decreases then the strength of the concrete also decreases. This decrease in water may be due to evaporation or the water absorbed by the aggregates and surroundings. This decrease of water is made up by different method and steps. This is necessary for the setting of cement and the action of hydration.
In cold season concrete no need more water . because in cold weather hydration process occur in low quantity .but if you want to save your water then wet some heavy cloths and laying i mean expand on concrete .because the concrete will protect for the sun and no need to give it more water after some days 2 or 3 wet the cloth which you laying on concrete . but in hot weather a curing is very must for the concrete because the hydration reaction is very fast due to heat . that's way there is using alot process to protect the concrete .
Different Methods Curing of Concrete in Cold Weather
1. Spray of water2. Pounding of water
3. Sticking damp material
4. Covering with water proof materials
5. Application of impervious membrane
6. Use of chemicals
7. Steam curing
