Water absorption in internally cured mortar made with water-filled lightweight aggregate (2009, background): “135 As the replacement volume of LWA increases, the volume of ITZ around the NWA decreases as 136 indicated by the upper curve in Figure 2 [30].”
Permeability properties of self-compacting concrete with coarse recycled aggregates (2014, background): “From the point of view of the concrete durability properties, it is believed that an analogous advantage could result with the use of dry recycled coarse aggregate, since it was observed an highest porosity of the concrete ITZ microstructure around the pre-soaked lightweight aggregate compared with ”
Effect of nano-silica on the mechanical and transport properties of lightweight concrete (2015, background): “It was previously found that the ITZ thickness would decrease with higher absorption capacity of lightweight aggregate since less water can accumulate in the vicinity of the aggregate particle [32–34].”
