Feasibility and Effectiveness of the Timely Curing Methods in Cement Concrete Pavement

Experiments are carried out to compare the feasibility and effectiveness of curing methods for preventing the early-age plastic shrinkage cracking of the cement concrete pavement.These methods include spraying concrete curing compound for curing,covering the awning for curing,spraying water mist over the pavement for curing,and smoothing the surface of the pavement multiply for curing.The effective curing materials and methods for preventing the early-age plastic shrinkage cracking of the cement concrete pavement are summarized.These curing materials and methods can offer references and advices for the units during construction.
