Curing plays an important role on strength development and durability of concrete. Curing serves a few purposes, the main being that it doesn’t dry too quickly and it retains enough moisture so that the concrete continues to gain strength. The curing process begins immediately after the concrete is poured and finished, the concrete becomes fully cured and is at its PSI strength at around 28 days after being poured. 

Joints are concretes’ best friend. It might sound strange but concrete actually expands and contracts as it changes temperature. Having a control joint, allows the concrete to move as this happens. By placing joints in the proper place, it helps prevent random cracks and buckling. Essentially, joints are used to relieve pressure and prevent weak spots, and could be identified as a spot for “planned cracks”, as all concrete will crack eventually.

FiberMesh is made up of fibrous materials and is distributed evenly into wet loaded concrete truck. The purpose of FiberMesh is to reduce water loss from the concrete, to enhance its structural integrity, and increase the strength of the concrete. It's different from wire mesh, as instead of providing a single layer or protection, it reinforces concrete throughout its entire structure, from subgrade to surface.
