scope:
Internally cured concrete uses absorptive materials in the mixture that supplement the standard curing practices by supplying moisture to the interior of the concrete (ACI PRC-308-16). This process adds moisture without affecting the w/cm. The moisture is desorbed for internal moisture augmentation at the time needed to further hydrate the cement. This water addition can be achieved using several materials (Jensen and Lura 2006; Kovler and Jensen 2007), including prewetted lightweight aggregate, super-absorbent particles, wood fibers, and absorbent limestone aggregate. This report will focus primarily on the use of prewetted lightweight aggregate.
