Thank you all Ron it means when curing stage we watered the concrete more than w=0.88kg/m^2/hr ? Right?

Ron after we know that w=0.88kg/m^2/hr, what do we do at site?

hello Everyone why we need calculate the evaporation rate of surface ? when we know it what will we do at site? (attachment file) thank you
