An investigation on the use of zeolite aggregates for internal curing of concrete (2013, unknown): “shrinkage mitigation [14, 15].”
Volume change and cracking in internally cured mixtures made with saturated lightweight aggregate under sealed and unsealed conditions (2009, methodology): “This has been shown by comparing the effectiveness of coarse SLWA and fine SLWA when the same volume of water is considered [36] [37].”
Internal curing of engineered cementitious composites for prevention of early age autogenous shrinkage cracking (2009, background): “From the point of view of the effectiveness in mitigating autogenous shrinkage, the water absorption capacity of LWA should be as high as possible, and its size should be as fine as possible [16].”
Effect of internal curing on durability-related properties of high performance concrete (2012, background): “In previous studies, LWA typically showed lower efficiency for concretes with lower w/c ratio [15,19].”
