About 7 years ago I had a concrete pad poured as the base for a mortared brick walkway. After allot of research I did a burlap & plastic sheet wet cure. The contractor thought I was nuts. Great to see I made the right choice. Having a patio slab poured today and this contractor never heard of wet curing...I sent him the video :)
you all prolly dont care but does anybody know a trick to get back into an instagram account?? I was dumb forgot the login password. I appreciate any help you can give me.
@Dax Omari Thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
This is literally the best video on concrete I have ever seen. It's nice to see guys with PHD's who actually know how to problem solve, and show their results from their testing. Science is pretty cool if done right. Thus, giving the best method to tackle a problem. If you are going to do something, why not do it right? The first time? And it's not expensive. Crazy. People don't know and people are lazy. Great video! If the Romans can do it 2,000 years ago why not today?
I've witnessed construction workers curing the floors of highrise building during construction. It's exactly how you said. If curing is so important, why aren't machines built to facilitate the process of curing. I saw construction workers put a thick cloth and pour some water on it before the ciment was fully dried. The way curing is done today involves too much manual work. Machines would do it more consistently with less labour. What about painting the concrete to make it more water-resistent? I've see how the city makes sidewalks and they don't cure it! The same goes for overpass pilliards! Guess who is paying the bills for these mistakes? Your video makes sense!
@@mytech6779It depends on the application and climate. A city sidewalk in Phoenix, Az (where I live) has much different requirements than a bridge deck in Detroit. Its not worth sending a crew to wet cure something like a sidewalk in a mild climate where it frankly doesn’t matter, our concrete doesnt disintegrate here and a chemical compound will produce a concrete product that hold up wonderfully for years. Other climates and applications require concrete that is more impermeable and justify the cost of better curing. I will say this video was surprising as to how much of a difference there is between compounds and wet curing. I will be changing my practices for certain applications for sure.
@@markdoumert The key to my prior statement is knowing that that the definition of "works great" is not: barely adequate for the least demanding application.
Although I'm an electrical engineer by training, I really enjoy the insight into the world of concrete you so generously share with us. Even though the knowledge I gain won't find any use outside of any DIY projects inside and outside of my house I still eagerly await your next video. Your passion for concrete and the energy you put into the content of this channel is truly in a class of its own. I would like to know more about surface finishing and some practical advice on how steel/glass/carbon-fibers can be used to replace steel rebars..
Thanks so much for the comment! I do a little electrical engineering in my research as well. I have so much respect for your profession and all that you have contributed.
@@TylerLey Yes, I thought I saw you carry a raspberry pi around in an previous video! I guess most of us with a deeply rooted interest in technology and engineering will only think it's good fun to visit the neighbors and check out what they are up to.
Amazing results, just 3 days, doesn't seem like much to ask for such impressive results. I've watched all your videos, have you done one on the effect curing has on strength?
Wild Bill57 do you think this mostly applies to flatwork? And not walls? Or do I need to leave the walls up for 24 hour before I strip then wet cure for 3 days?
Bill, We are just starting to do research work on this topic. Look for some videos in the future. Some other people have done some nice work on it but the research was from the 1960's and our cements have changed a lot. Stay tuned!!!!
Thank you - I will send to my know-it-all concrete contractor who did my driveway. After he left, I covered with plastic for 7 days spraying under plastic daily. Surface is good but have lateral various cracks already just a month after the poor with NO WEIGHT. Your channel is great - thanks. Just curious - is there any special treatment for beachside concrete jobs?
These videos are really giving an insight that it's not easy to do it right with concrete. Unfortunately many projects are very time constrained and want to go on with the project without delay because every day costs money in salaries and rental resources too. My first job was at a cement factory, so I have some connection to this world even if I work with something different today.
You are so right! However, if we can do something that is low cost that will double the lifespan of the concrete then I think we can convince people to do it. We need to get this message out to more people. We also need tools to measure this in the field. We are working on that as well. If people can see it is important then they are more likely to change it. You are so right though about time and money being so important.
A+ Video and your Teaching abilities are wonderful, had great info on curing and how it affects concrete lifespan. Just got my concrete small patio done for hottub today in time to do wet curing but need info on that.
An excellent presentation. Unfortunately, most people that make the decisions figure that the problem wont show up until after they have moved on. They look at the immediate cost and don't worry about the future. Please keep doing the right thing. Good Luck, Rick
@@TylerLey The business schools need to look at long term cost not just a few years. I think that today's politicians are a lost cause. Most of my profs, undergrad and grad, were WWII vets who looked at the long term. Later, as a town engineer shared by 12 small rural towns, the selectmen were part time and mostly WWII vets who wanted things done right so that their grandchildren would benefit. By 1987, most of the vets retired and a new crop of young professional full time politicians took over and things went downhill. Good Luck to you young people. Rick
I am working on that now. We have some really sweet data coming. Right now I would answer that it is about 3 h after mixing. This will depend on the weather. That is the next thing to quantify.
SIR, PLEASE MAKE AN ATTRACTIVE VIDEO O INTERNAL CURING THE WHOLE REVIEW IN 15MIN LIKE THIS. I LIKE YOUR WORK YOU DO WITH CONCRETE. KEEP GIVING US INFORMATIVE KNOWLEDGE.
I'm currently testing out styro/eps concrete. I assume the principle applies? Would immersing everything in water be desirable to cure all the blocks? Also, how soon after I put them into the forms do I start curing? Could I really just immerse the form immediately after?
I'm just curious how this would work for wet curing. Lets say I build out a small slab for a resident client and I use burlap and plastic for the curing. Would I then ask the homeowner to keep watering the slab or would I have to keep driving back and watering it to keep it damp? lol
That part there at the very end gave me an idea.... An aeroplane, made of concrete!! All kidding aside, love your videos. Entertaining and informative all at once. My family had many generations of engineers in the past, even on the Panama Canal. I undoubtedly would have also been an engineer, were it not for an allergy to homework. So I am an armchair engineer. And I do fantastic eyeball engineering. ;)
Two thumbs up. Excellent video. Curing concrete properly may halve future replacement/repair sales; maybe that's why this info isn't out there? Many thanks.
Clark, I think people just don't realize how important it is. Many people say it is important but not a lot of people do something about it. The owners need to start asking for more. Contractors can only give people what they ask and pay for.
How does casting concrete in a plastic mould such as a food contain affect curing? How do various kinds of moulding materials such as timber and composite materials like melamine affect curing?
Does moisture or relative humidity effect CTE measurement? Why does AASHTO T336/CTE test require running the test while the sample submerged in water during testing? Unless they want to exclude the effect of moisture-related shrinkage, not sure!!. In reality, concrete is not really fully saturated so measuring CTE at room temperature or dry condition may represent the actual field behavior. Sorry, it is not related to the top. Thank you for your amazing presentation.
Thanks again Tyler. The educational value of your vids is second to none. So many times have I forwarded links to your channel for my junior engineers to learn simple basic principles of concrete, which they failed to absorb at uni, I should be charging and giving you a cut of the profits !!. Again, another great vid Tyler. 👍👍🇦🇺
Thank you so much. I am really glad you find them helpful. Please keep helping people improve in their concrete knowledge. I think it is the biggest challenge we have in our industry. This is why I make these videos. Thanks so much for sharing.
So, ( I’m a concrete novice ) if you had concrete poured into a vertical mold, the top ( exposed ) surface should be cured with wet burlap for at least three days. But the vertical sides, I guess you just leave the forms on the 3+ days ? Also, when pouring into vertical forms I assume this is done in layers - how thick should each layer be and how long should you wait b/f before pouring the next layer on top of the first ?
My question is if I pour a slab of concrete and immediately cover it with plastic how does that affect the strength in curing durability of that concrete
Curing becomes more and more important because we will need to use cements with different compositions like CEMIII and SCM to reduce the carbon footprint. In general they are slower reacting than a OPC and require a lot more curing.
Andy, You keep the concrete wet. Usually we do this with wet cloth that is covered with plastic. Check these videos: m.ua-cam.com/video/uf64MFQ4nI0/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/8XApTsnDmgY/v-deo.html
I don't think you "double" its lifespan by curing. That 60% is relative, not absolute. Curing saved 60% of 2.5% total mass loss. Meaning, the total mass loss when curing was 1% vs 2.5% when not cured. Much much better relatively, but still just a 1% gain in absolute terms. Depending the size of the project, it may make sense to care about that, or maybe not care about that.
I don't understand. why there is a manufacture for concrete? the company who produce concrete? I think if you bought it from home depot, there is no additional service at all.
Dr. Ley thanks for another great video. I had always seen lithium silicate advertised as a surface densifier/hardener to be applied after curing was complete. Are these two types of different lithium silicate products, or the same product that could be used different ways?

Insight on acrylic polymer for curing? Man's specs say cover with plastic for 24hrs then allow to continue curing in the open air...
Used carpet for wet curing...free and holds water very well
Why wet burlap and not just plastic film?
Where's the video on how wet curing is performed?

You keep the concrete wet. Usually we do this with wet cloth that is covered with plastic. Check these videos:

Just spend the last 5 days wet curing my 1500sqft driveway, only two more days to go!!!!!
Nice!!!
So what about internal curing additives like wetted shale?
I talked about that in some other videos. I think they are very useful and can supplement external curing but I don't think they can replace it. These materials are also challenging to get wet and have them stay wet during construction.
