Curing is a major contributor to the short- and long-term performance of concrete pavements. Effective curing controls moisture loss and maintains adequate temperature of concrete pavements to allow for the continuation of cement hydration and formation of hydrated gel necessary to develop desired strength and durability.

The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's NCHRP Synthesis 598: Curing Practices for Concrete Pavements documents state department of transportation curing procedures, curing material types used, application rates, the timing of curing, and specific measures adopted when paving under adverse weather conditions.
