DOI: 10.1016/j.conbuildmat.2017.03.088
Abstract: Abstract The decrease of internal relative humidity (IRH) in high-performance concrete (HPC) induces autogenous shrinkage, which is fundamental to evaluate the cracking resistance. Internal curing (IC) with pre-wetted lightweight aggregates (LWAs) is used to mitigate… read more here.
