The process of curing concrete is both an art and a science. The best and most thoroughly cured concrete yields maximum strength and durability which can last for decades.
 
Curing happens as the concrete particles and the available moisture form crystals, which gives the concrete its strength. Normally, concrete reaches 70% strength after 7 days, and up to 100% after 28 days.
