Method of Curing	When to Use
Covering concrete surfaces with hessian or gunny bags	Adopted mainly in case of large concrete surfaces such as road slabs.
Shading concrete work	Structural concrete work i.e. RCC work on beams/slabs
Pounding Method	Suitable for curing horizontal surfaces such as floors, roof slabs, road and air field pavements
Sprinkling of Water	Mostly used for curing floor slabs.
Membrane curing	Adopted where water is not available in sufficient quantity or where constant supervision is not posible.
High-pressure steam curing	Adopted where strength development of concrete is very rapid.
Infrared radiation curing	It has much more rapid gain of strength can be obtained than even with steam curing.
