Effects of Improving Endurance of Concrete Structures by Wet Curing System
Source abstract
Abstract
There has been no such engineering method until now to enable water curing in the vertical surfaces of concrete after the removal of formworks. The Aqua curtain wet curing system has been developed with the purpose of supplying the sufficient water on vertical surfaces of concrete. Aqua curtain prevents rusting of reinforcing bars by making the surface of concrete denser. In this way, Aqua Curtain also contributes to realize more resistant and long-life concrete structures. In other words, implementation of this system leads to improve the endurance and economy of concrete structures by reducing the consumption of resources.
