    This document summarizes a practicum on mixing and curing concrete. It describes the purpose, tools, materials, and procedures used. The procedures are separated into three parts: mixing concrete, compacting concrete, and curing concrete. Key steps for mixing include adding wet coarse aggregate, cement, fine aggregate, and water to a concrete mixer. Compacting involves placing the concrete in molds in layers and using a compactor stick. Curing requires submerging the hardened concrete in water for an extended period. The conclusion drawn is that longer curing results in stronger concrete.

    CHAPTER 15

    MIXING AND CURING OF CONCRETE

    By Group 7
    Purpose
    The purpose of this practicum is :
     To know the stages of the mixing and curing

    concrete process.
     Also, to increase knowledge about the

    properties of concrete-forming materials.


    TOOLS
    The following below are tools which we used in this
    practicum:
     Cylinder Mold 15 cm x 30 cm;
     Cube Mold 15 cm x 15 cm x 15 cm;
     Shovel;
     Concrete Mixer;
     Rubber Hammer;
     Pan;
     Curing tub.
     Abram Cone;
     Oil;
     Compactor Stick.
    MATERIALS
    The following below are materials which we
    used in this practicum:
     Coarse Aggregate;
     Fine Aggregate;
     Cement;
     Water.
    PRACTICUM PROCEDURE
    Separated to be 3 parts :
    1. Mixing concrete
    2. Compacting concrete
    3. Curing concrete
    MIXING CONCRETE

    The following below are tha practicum procedures of


    mixing concrete:
     Prepare all of the materials and the tools which used in

    this practicum;
     Make sure coarse aggregate is moistened before placing

    it into the concrete mixer by add a partial water;


     Turn on the concrete mixer and then add fine aggegate,

    cement, and water in a rotating machine condition;


     Make sure all material are mixed already;
     Pull the lever and aimed to the pan so the mixture can

    be taken;
    COMPACTING CONCRETE
    The following below are the practicum procedures of compacting
    concrete:
     Coat the wall in molds with oil:

     Put 1/3 concrete mixture into molds;

     Compact using the compactor stick 25 times every 1/3 the

    height of the mold, and then solidify;


     Repeat steps a and b with 2/3 height of the mold until it reach

    full;
     Hit the side of the mold using a rubber hammer, so that the

    concrete mix can be perfectly solid in the mold;


     Let the concrete mix for 24 hours so that the concrete mixture

    can harden and become solid;


     Loosen the screw in the mold then remove the concrete mixture

    that has become solid.


    CURING CONCRETE
    The following below are the practicum procedures of
    curing concrete:
     Open the mold after leaving it for 24 hours after

    mixing the concrete;


     Put the concrete that has been opened from the mold

    into the curing tub contain water;


     Concrete must be curing wet at temperature

    (23±1,7)°C starting from the time of mixing until the


    time of testing;
     One day before the testing date, the sample object is

    remove from the curing tube dried until it is ready to


    be tested.
    CONCLUSION
    From this practicum we get a conclusion :
     The smaller the slump made, the more

    material is needed, because seen from the


    height of the albrams cone;
     More longer the concrete curing process

    happen, will get more stronger concrete too;


     Concrete that does not got curing has a lower

    strength, so curing is very important in


    concrete.
    ERROR FACTOR
    Error factors obtained from this practicum are:
     Human Error, Inaccuracy in preparing

    reports;
     Lack of understanding related to practical

    procedures.
