Comparative Study of Internal Curing Techniques for Concrete
High-performance concrete (HPC) is characterized by low water–cement ratio which suffers from early age cracking induced by self-desiccation and autogenous shrinkage. Conventional curing methods are not effective in overcoming the above limitation. To address the above problem, two internal creating strategies, viz. lightweight aggregates (LWA) and superabsorbent polymers (SAP), have recently been developed. This study compares the two approaches according to the literature available. Some theoretical aspects to optimize their application for usage as internal reservoir have been discussed. By selecting appropriate amount and type of internal curing, highly efficient internal water curing can be ensured. In this paper, the studies related to use of the usage of pre-soaked crushed over burnt bricks used as a replacement of part of coarse fraction of fine aggregated have been discussed. The application of the same not only improves the strength but also makes the concrete durable.
