26、us materials, does not typically develop its durability, strength, and mechanical characteris-tics without adequate curing. This report on internally cured concrete (ICC) does not presume to change the require-ment for water retention at the curing-affected zone on the concrete surface. The curing m

27、ethods listed in ACI 308R-01 should be consulted for appropriate methods to prevent or mitigate moisture loss from the concrete surface.Test trial batches should be used during initial mixture proportioning to determine and verify those concrete prop-erties required for each project.Internally cured

28、 concrete uses prewetted absorptive mate-rials that contain moisture. The absorbed moisture is released as the internal humidity of the concrete drops below 100 percent to enhance and maximize the hydration of cement.High-performance concrete typically has a low w/cm that may not supply enough water

29、 to hydrate all of the cement. Due to the reduction in permeability of high-performance concrete, even in the first 2 to 3 days, exterior water curing is limited in its ability to supply in-depth hydration to the cement as the products of hydration fill in and disconnect the capillary pore network (

30、Powers et al. 1959). In this case, the beneficial effect of external water curing is limited to the concrete surface. As a result, external water cannot penetrate the interior of the concrete to maintain a saturated capillary pore system thereby avoiding self-desiccation. One solution is to replace

31、a portion of the normalweight aggregate with absorbent materials to desorb water to the hydrating cement. The principal improvements of supplying internal water are the maintenance of a saturated cement paste, which leads to greater hydration of the cement and more complete pozzo-lanic reactions.Cha

32、racteristics of high-performance concrete that may be improved by increased hydration from internally absorbed moisture include resistance to early-age cracking; higher strength; decreased permeability; decreased warping; dimen-sional stability; resistance to freezing-and-thawing damage, deicing che

33、micals, and chemical attacks; and creep.In the past 50 years, portland cement has become finer with higher contents of tricalcium silicate and alkalis (Bentz et al. 2008). These changes have led to generally faster hydrating cements that produce much of their strength in only a few days. Concretes m

34、ade with these cements, however, can be more prone to early-age cracking due to their increased heat of hydration and significantly increased autogenous strains and stresses that can develop when self-desiccation occurs.1.2scopeInternally cured concrete uses absorptive materials in the mixture that

35、supplement the standard curing practices by supplying moisture to the interior of the concrete (ACI 308R-01). This process adds moisture without affecting the w/cm. The moisture is desorbed for internal moisture augmentation at the time needed to further hydrate the cement. This water addition can b

36、e achieved using several materials (Jensen and Lura 2006; Kovler and Jensen 2007), including prewetted lightweight aggregate, super-absorbent particles, wood fibers, and absorbent limestone aggregate. This report will focus primarily on the use of prewetted lightweight aggregate.CHAPteR 2notAtIon An

39、aximum expected degree of hydration of cement can be assumed to be 1 for w/cm 0.36 and the value of (w/cm) divided by 0.36 for w/cm 0.42 can benefit from the use of PLFA. A substitution of lightweight fine aggregate in the amount of 100 lb/yd3(59 kg/m3), in a mixture at a w/cm of 0.43, has been show

40、n to increase the modulus of elasticity by approximately 10 percent. Note that, in some cases, lower values of the modulus of elasticity might be preferred because they generate lower tensile stresses associated with restrained shrinkage, thus reducing the risk of cracking. The designer should consi

41、der variations in the modulus of elasticity when addressing changes in tensile and compressive strength.4.8Permeability and resistance to deicing chemicalsDense, crack-free, low-permeability cement paste offers substantial resistance to deicing chemicals. Use of PLA may contribute to minimizing the

42、transport of deleterious substances from the environment into the concrete, with fewer cracks and lower cement paste permeability. Conventionally, to produce concrete with enhanced durability, low-w/cm mixtures, supplementary cementitious materials, or both, have been used with positive results. Pre

43、wetted absorptive materials have also been shown to have a positive influence. For example, a PLFA substitution of only 100 lb/yd3(59 kg/m3), which by volume is approximately 11 percent, can reduce the rapid chloride permeability test (RCPT) coulomb number by more than 25 percent (Hoff 2003).In anot

44、her study, chloride permeability of different high-performance concrete mixtures with and without PLA was investigated for more than 3 years (Thomas 2006). At 28 days, the main difference in chloride permeability among the mixtures was given by the w/cm; there were not significant differences betwee

45、n the lightweight and normal-weight aggregate mixtures. After 1 and 3 years, however, the permeability of the lightweight aggregate mixtures was approximately 45 and 30 percent, respectively, of those with normalweight aggregate. The difference in performance was attributed to the increased hydratio

46、n of the cement supplied by the PLA.4.9CreepBased on 4.1 through 4.8, the following statements can be made about the effect of partial or total replacement of normalweight aggregate by prewetted absorptive materials on creep (Lopez 2005). Using PLA can:a) Increase the compressive strength of concret

47、e; lower creep can be expected;b) Increase the internal relative humidity of concrete. Several of the proposed creep mechanisms state that creep is caused by water migration within the concrete and from concrete to the environment. If higher internal relative humidity is main-tained, a reduction in

48、creep can be expected. Depending on the creep mechanisms, the reduction will be in the drying creep portion or in both the drying and the basic creep portions;c) Decrease the permeability of cement paste. A reduced permeability reduces water loss from the concrete to the environment, which reduces d

49、rying creep;d) Increase the degree of hydration. An increase in hydration reduces the amount of unhydrated cement in the concrete. Unhydrated cement contributes to the aggregate restraining effect on creep and shrinkage (Neville et al. 1983). An increase in creep may be expected due to the rela-tive reduction in this restraining phase.Therefore, statements a), b), and c) suggest a reduction on creep whereas statement d) suggests the oppositean increase in creep. A reduction in creep, however, has been observed overall. For example, recent research
