The accelerated curing has many applications in manufacturing of precast concrete production. Quality control of concrete is the one of the most important purpose of accelerated curing methods. Conventional structural concrete design is based upon the compressive strength at 28 days determined by casting and curing standard specimens under controlled conditions. Curing of concrete is the process of prevention of loss of moisture and heat from freshly placed concrete by various means so that proper hydration is achieved.
