DOI: 10.1007/s12205-016-0793-x
Abstract: Curing of concrete is important to ensure both strength and durability. Loss of water through evaporation reduces the hydration rate and eventually results in limited strength and higher permeability. Generally, curing is done by supplying… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cemconres.2021.106400
Abstract: Abstract Supplementary cementitious materials were incorporated into hydrogel-based internal curing agents to improve the hydration, microstructure, and ultimately strength of internally cured high-performance cement paste. Polyacrylamide composite hydrogel particles containing amorphous silica – either silica… read more here.

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.
