The concrete mixtures were proportioned on a weight basis.
The following parameters were kept constant in all the
mixtures
Plastic shrinkage.
Drying shrinkage.
In
the concrete specimens cured by applying the
water-based curing compound the CEI ranged from
84% to 89%
This
is a positive implication for regions with scarcity of
water or in situations where curing with water is difficult.
