A dynamic one-dimensional model is developed to simulate the novel internal heating curing process in the manufacturing of glass reinforced epoxy pipes by filament winding. The model combines the energy balance with a ...

Internal curing has emerged over the last decade as an approach to counteract the negative effects associated with self-desiccation in low water-to-cement ratio (w/c) mixtures. Specifically, much of the early research on ...

The transport of fluid and ions in concrete mixtures is central to many aspects of concrete deterioration. As a result, transport properties are frequently measured as an indication of the durability that a concrete mixture ...

Recently, substantial interest has developed in using fine lightweight aggregate for internal curing in concrete. Mixture proportion development for these mixtures requires the specific gravity, water absorption, and water ...

This paper explores the potential for manufacturing internally cured concretes with lightweight aggregate (LWA) that has different initial moisture contents prior to mixing: oven-dry, 24 h pre-wetted, and vacuum saturated. ...

The lack of adequate curing conditions, and related problems such as poor hydration, shrinkage and cracking, are among the main reasons for the reduction in durability of reinforced concrete structures. Considering the ...

Natural pozzolans (NP) have proven to be an effective supplementary cementitious material; however, the replacement of ordinary portland cement (OPC) with NP might increase the autogenous and drying shrinkage of concrete. ...
