“…Same is the case with C4 specimens that shows the availability of water and its effectiveness in development of microstructure indicating a strength development more evident than other sealed curing specimens conforming to Al-Gahtani [3] works. After 28 days, C2 specimens as expected, showed the highest compressive strength while C4 specimens showed second highest compressive strength compared to other curing methods which corresponds to the earlier studies [11].…”

Appropriate curing of concrete is of vital importance in development of desired material properties in concrete namely compressive strength, durability, and dense uniform microstructure. Improper and intermittent curing is considered as one of the major reasons for concrete failures as evident in the form of cracks that consequently lead to durability issues of structures. An experimental program was designed to study the behavior of concrete under various conventional and modern curing techniques. Numerous cylindrical specimens were tested with different conventional and modern curing techniques to quantify their effects on curing of concrete. Microstructural and compressive strength development analyses at different ages were conducted to monitor the effect of curing methods. This work is helpful in establishing the best curing techniques for attainment of compressive strength and durability in concrete.
