when Portland cement is mixed with water a chemical reaction called hydration takes place. The extent to which this reaction is completed influences the strength and durability of the concrete. Freshly mixed concrete normally contains more water than is required for hydration of the cement; however, excessive loss of water by evaporation can delay or prevent adequate hydration. The surface is particularly susceptible to insufficient hydration because it dries first. If temperatures are favourable, hydration is relatively rapid the first few days after concrete is placed; however, it is important for water to be retained in the concrete during this period, that is, for evaporation to be prevented or substantially reduced.
