Early-age autogenous and drying shrinkage behavior of cellulose fiber-reinforced cementitious materials (2011, background): “Saturated lightweight aggregates (LWA) and superabsorbent polymers (SAP) have been demonstrated to be effective IC agents [2–5].”
Influence of internal curing using lightweight aggregates on interfacial transition zone percolation and chloride ingress in mortars (2009, unknown): “Thus, based on the results of this study, it appears that in addition to providing significant reductions in earlyage autogenous shrinkage and strength enhancement at ages of 28 d and beyond [4,30], IC may also produce mortars and concretes with significantly enhanced resistance to the penetration o”
Internal curing of high-performance concrete with pre-soaked fine lightweight aggregate for prevention of autogenous shrinkage cracking (2008, background): “Other studies [21,22], however, have shown that the compressive strength can be improved by adequate internal curing without having to reduce the effective water-cement ratio.”
Internal curing of engineered cementitious composites for prevention of early age autogenous shrinkage cracking (2009, background): “Another reason for the observed lower autogenous shrinkage in the presence of a higher amount of FA may also be the maintenance of a more open pore structure containing larger pores [21].”
