Why is curing important?
Curing helps in the following ways:
- reduces the loss of water
-required for cement hydration process, thus will help in gaining the required strength for the concrete
-improves durability of concrete by reducing permeability and porosity
- improves microstructure of concrete

What is Joggle system ?
This is called a joggle in technical term.
The bent is provided to overlap the column reinforcement and to keep in alignment in its dimension (column size )….. if we don’t bend the reinforcement at overlapping then the size of the column will increase when we go up.
So the point is TO MINIMIZE LOAD IN THE TOP AND TO REDUCE THE SIZE OF COLUMN ON THE WAY
