Self-cured concrete is a type of cement-based material that has the unique ability to mitigate
the loss rate of water and increase the capacity of concrete to retain water compared to …

Internal curing of high performance concrete (HPC) by pre-saturated lightweight aggregates
is a well-established method of counteracting self-desiccation and autogenous shrinkage …

This paper gives an overview of different techniques for incorporation of internal curing
water in concrete. Internal water curing can be used to mitigate self-desiccation and self …

This paper presents the results of experimental investigation on desorption behavior and
internal curing efficiency of porous aggregates with same size fraction from 2.36 to 4.75 mm …

Experiments were conducted to determine the effects of using dispersed saturated
lightweight aggregates (LWAs) as water reservoirs in mitigating the autogenous deformation …

A novel concept in internal curing of High Performance Concrete is based on dispersing
very small, saturated lightweight aggregates (LWA) in the concrete, containing sufficient …

Internal curing of high-strength concrete has been the subject of extensive research for the
last decade. The concept of protected paste volume has been one of the most significant …

Internal curing technology has been developed to counteract autogenous shrinkage of high-
performance concrete. However, the total shrinkage of internally cured concrete is reported …

In internal water curing of High Performance Concrete, it is fundamental to know how and
when the water contained in the internal curing agent is released into the hydrating cement …

A normal weight porous aggregate (NWPA), with the saturated surface dry density of 2.3
g/cm 3, was prepared. Impact of NWPA on performance of mortar with water to cementitious …
