What are the curing requirements for concrete pavement in Georgia?
Use Impervious Membrane Method (white pigmented curing compound at 1 gal/150 ft², applied immediately after finishing and before setting, avoiding rain, with continuous stirring; repair damaged film immediately) OR White Polyethylene Sheeting (lap ≥18 in, weigh down, extend ≥2× slab thickness, maintain ≥72 hrs) OR Burlap/Cotton Fabric (keep surface wet per Engineer’s duration). Avoid applying compound to joint faces. Cold weather: protect from freezing for ≥24 hrs post-placement (polyethylene/canvas) or remove/replace frozen concrete at no cost. Do not open pavement to traffic until 14 days old or 2,500 psi compressive strength achieved [1,5]
