earths stabilized with different types of cement were considered. The main differences between the chosen cements are their clinker content and strength class. The applied moist curing method consists of condi-tioning samples in moist environment (99.8% ± 0.2%RH) at ambient temperature (21 C). Curing duration was varied between 0 (no curing) and
Acrylic bone cement and starch: Botanical variety impact on curing …
The water uptake depends on the cement immersion time in a biological fluid and it is studied through sample mass variation analysis. The weight loss is determined after immersion (function of the time) and drying. Starch botanical variety and enzyme presence do not impact curing parameters and water uptake but strongly influence degradability.

How Long After Pouring Is Concrete Safe From the Rain?
Concrete is a mix of cement, water, and aggregate. When the water in the mixture starts to evaporate, the cement begins to harden (cure). If it rains on uncured concrete, the added moisture will cause it to swell and crack. The rain may also wash away the finer cement particles and form pits or holes in the surface of the concrete.
