FUAQ
Does wet curing eliminate drying shrinkage?
Wet curing does not eliminate drying shrinkage; it merely delays moisture evaporation and associated shrinkage.
Proper curing; however, can have a beneficial effect on development of material properties, such as tensile strain capacity, that will reduce the risk of cracking.
