| Of or like copper.
|
| Concrete or stone structure that forms the edging of a sidewalk, separating it from the paved street; the adjacent, usually integral, gutter provides a drainage channel.
|
| A valve placed on the water service usually near the curb line; also called the Curb Stop.
|
| An interruption of a curb at a driveway pedestrian way.
|
| A retainer or mold with the necessary shape to make a concrete curb.
|
| The temporary support for a freshly placed or poured curb system.
|
| Extremely hard rock used in a curb system; available in sections.
|
| The steel or metal framing surrounding an opening in a curb through which water flows and drains.
|
| The opening in a curb through which water flows and drains.
|
| A sloping pedestrian way, intended for pedestrian traffic, which provides access between a walk or sidewalk to a surface located above or below an adjacent curb face.

|
| 1. A protective rim. 2. A concrete edging raised above a roadway and forming the edge of a drainage gutter.
|
| 1. The process of concrete hardening, rubber vulcanizing, or adhesive achieving its maximum strength. 2. To change the properties of an adhesive by chemical reaction, which may be condensation, polymerization, or vulcanization, and thereby develop maximum strength; generally accomplished by the action of heat or a catalyst, with or without pressure. 3. Toughening or hardening of paint film. 4. To provide conditions conducive to completion of the hydration process in portland cement concrete or plaster.
|
| Completely dry; moisture free.
|
| Hardener; promoter.
|
| A built-up covering of sacks, matting, hessian, straw, waterproof paper, or other suitable material placed over freshly finished concrete to prevent premature dehydration.
|
| A liquid that can be applied as a sprayed coating to the surface of newly placed concrete to retard the loss of water or, in the case of pigmented compounds, also to reflect heat so as to provide an opportunity for the concrete to develop its properties in a favorable temperature and moisture environment; forms a water-resistant layer to prevent premature dehydration of the concrete.
|
| To control the humidity and temperature of freshly finished concrete to assure the proper drying and hardening of the concrete.
|
| Waterproof paper placed over freshly finished concrete, to help control the humidity and temperature, aiding in the proper curing of concrete.
|
| The amount of time that concrete should be kept damp after placing, usually about a week.
|
| The temperature to which an adhesive or an assembly is subjected to cure the adhesive.
|
| See Electrical Curing.
|
| See Steam Curing.
|
| Maintenance of humidity and temperature of freshly placed concrete during some definite period following placing, casting, or finishing to assure satisfactory hydration of the cementitious materials and proper hardening of the concrete; the hardening of concrete or plaster.
|
| The distortion of an originally essentially linear or planar member into a curved shape such as the warping of a slab due to creep or to differences in temperature or moisture content in the zones adjacent to its opposite faces.
|
| Wood in which the fibers are distorted so that they have a curled appearance, as in birdseye wood; the areas showing curly grain may vary up to several inches in diameter.
