After concreting checks
1) All the flat portions of footings / underground structures shall be applied an epoxy based bituminous layer for protection against ground water.
Curing of shearwall , columns, slabs
Columns / Shear walls
1) Curing shall be done keeping the concrete surface wet by covering it with moist double Hessian cloth 2) Curing shall continue for at least 10 days.
Slabs
1) Curing of slabs shall be done as mentioned above.
2) Ponds shall be made within 24 hours of slab casting and till then slab shall be cured by spraying water.
3) Ponds shall be made at column locations first to cover from all sides and then to cover other portions of slab.
4) Care shall be taken to see to it that ponds are completely filled with water through out the recommended period for curing.
5) Vertical faces of the beams and area of slab out side ponds shall be cured by covering with wet Hessian cloth.
6) Incase where ponding is not done, whole slab should be covered with wet hessian cloth and care should be taken to keep it moist always.

Footings
1) Flat portion of footings shall be cured by covering it with wet double Hessian cloth.
2) For flat portions of Rafts, curing shall be done in a similar way as that for slab and vertical faces shall be cured similar to the columns.

How to protect fresh concrete
Protection of concrete
1) Newly placed concrete shall be protected from rain, sun and wind by approved means viz: Hessian cloth, plastic sheets etc.
2) Concrete placed below the ground level shall be protected against contamination from falling earth, during placing.
3) The area in and around the actual place of the concreting shall be kept sufficiently dry, by constructing sufficiently watertight forms / cofferdam around the area to be concreted, to prevent loss of mortar through walls.
4) Continuously dewatering the area through out the period of concreting and till initial set of concrete occurs with the help of dewatering pumps shall not be resorted to.

How to achieve concrete strength by curing
Curing
1) Curing is the process of preventing the loss of moisture from the concrete whilst maintaining a satisfactory
temperature regime. For all concrete works, curing shall be start
