Concrete continues to gain strength after pouring for as long as it retains moisture, but the longer it moist-cures, the slower the rate of strength gain. Moist-curing concrete for 20 days more than doubles its strength compared with four days of moist-curing, which is considered a minimum.oncrete continues to gain strength after pouring for as long as it retains moisture, but the longer it moist-cures, the slower the rate of strength gain.
