Internal curing is a topic that has been receiving a lot of attention in the
concrete industry recently. This method of curing typically involves the use
of pre-wetted lightweight aggregate as an internal source of curing water.
Many studies exist showing the benefits associated with internal curing such
as a reduction in shrinkage cracking, water absorption, and plastic shrinkage
crack formation. While these benefits have been shown in the laboratory, the
benefits still need to make their way into the field. This paper discusses the
laboratory benefits and discusses how to move internal curing to field
implementation.
