Q. Is there any measure of the completeness or adequacy of curing? A. No. The adequacy can be judged with reference to in-place strength or some other measurable property. Inadequate early curing frequently causes plastic shrinkage cracking, which results in a weak and badly cracked surface (ACI 308R).
