  • Curing of Portland Cement Concrete Pavements: 4 PDH

     $24.00 Add to cart
    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.
