Concrete: Curing And Drying Process

Concrete, composed of cement, water, aggregates, and admixtures, undergoes a curing process where cement reacts with water to form a solid matrix. Drying time varies depending on factors like air temperature, humidity, and concrete depth. Generally, concrete surfaces may appear dry within a few hours, but internal hydration and strength gain can take weeks or even months to complete, ensuring optimal performance and durability.
