THE BASICS OF EXTERNAL CURING OF CONCRETE (Virtual AIA)

Host: Jonathan Johansmeyer CSI, CDT
Discover the science behind effective concrete curing and learn how proper moisture management contributes to stronger, more durable concrete. This course explores the fundamentals of concrete chemistry and the curing process, with a focus on external curing methods that help retain essential moisture following concrete placement. Participants will gain valuable insights into curing compounds, products, and systems designed to minimize surface evaporation, maintain appropriate moisture levels, and support concrete performance under varying environmental conditions. The presentation also covers product selection, application techniques, and industry best practices to help architects, engineers, and construction professionals make informed decisions for their projects. This AIA/CES-registered course is HSW-approved and qualifies for 1 Learning Unit (LU).
