Curing of Portland Cement Concrete Pavements: 4 PDH

Curing of Portland Cement Concrete Pavements: 4 PDH

$24.00

In this course the student will gain detailed, research-based guidance on the curing process for concrete pavements, including pre-construction planning, methods of curing (initial and final), material selection, environmental considerations, and techniques to verify curing effectiveness. It emphasizes best practices to ensure long-term pavement performance and reduce early-life concrete distress.Instructor: Raymond Bosek, PE

SPECIFIC KNOWLEDGE OR SKILL OBTAINED

This course teaches the following specific knowledge and skills:

    • Explain the role of curing in achieving durable and strong concrete pavement, and identify consequences of inadequate curing.
    • Distinguish between the initial and final curing periods and describe their specific requirements and timing.
    • Evaluate environmental and material conditions that influence curing needs, including bleeding rates, evaporation rates, and concrete temperature.
    • Apply appropriate curing techniques—such as curing compounds, water-based methods, and sheet materials—based on project-specific conditions.
    • Identify factors contributing to plastic shrinkage and thermal cracking, and implement corrective actions to mitigate these issues during paving.
    • Verify curing effectiveness through practical methods, including visual inspection, reflectometry, and temperature/moisture measurement tools.

CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION

You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a 20 question multiple-choice quiz. The quiz can be retaken unlimited times until a passing grade of 70% or better is earned. This course satisfies four (4) hours of professional development (PDH).
