Abstract

Concrete is a primary construction material whose mechanical properties are significantly affected by the curing method during the cement hydration process. This study aims to analyze the effect of various curing methods on the mechanical properties of concrete and determine the most effective and realistic method for field application. The study was conducted experimentally using 30 MPa normal concrete with cylindrical specimens with a diameter of 150 mm and a height of 300 mm. Variations in curing methods included immersion, watering, wet sacks, plastic sheeting, and curing compound. Compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, and elastic modulus tests were conducted at 28 days. The results showed that the immersion method produced the highest mechanical property values, followed by wet sacks and plastic sheeting, while watering and curing compound showed lower results. It was concluded that the wet sack method is the most effective curing alternative for field conditions. This study contributes practical recommendations in the selection of concrete curing methods.
