This is a recorded webinar from October 3, 2023.

One of the cheapest and easiest things you can do to improve the durability of your concrete is to properly cure it. Curing concrete is a critical component of concrete construction needed to achieve the durability and quality everyone expects but it is often overlooked or limited. Discover how this relatively inexpensive component of concrete construction can positively impact the quality of concrete structures and pavements, leading to more sustainable construction that saves money in maintenance and an extended service life. Learn how curing improves hydration, lowers permeability, reduces cracking, increases strength, and toughens the surface of concrete. Other topics include different curing methods, choosing the right method for a project, curing versus sealing, decorative concrete curing, hot and cold weather curing, durability, who is responsible for curing, and curing’s role in sustainability. Of course, no education would be complete without understanding what concrete curing resources are available to assist Engineers, Architects, Owners and Contractors.

1. Explain what concrete curing is, and how it benefits hydration, including impacts to concrete properties for improved durability and sustainable construction.
2. Identify the different concrete curing methods available, selection of the right method for the project, when to cure, and how long to cure concrete.
3. State the significant importance of curing during hot and cold weather conditions and what requirements change.
4. Discover the resources available for curing concrete.
