Evaluation of Portland Cement Concrete with Internal Curing Capabilities. Tech Brief
Proper curing is the key to durable and sustainable concrete structures. When a concrete mixture is designed, delivered, poured, and consolidated, curing is the last and the most critical part for a quality fi nal product. Insuffi cient curing of concrete will cause cracking in the concrete and in turn leads to a non-durable and non-sustainable concrete structure. Current Louisiana specifi cation requires all concrete decks to be water cured for 10 days. Based on the fi eld experience, this is a very expensive operation and the most diffi cult one to enforce and monitor. Therefore, there is a great need to develop a new concrete mix that has a self-curing capability, which will reduce the time demand for water curing, minimize or eliminate cracks in the concrete deck, and help achieve durability and sustainability in concrete structures.
