Abstract
Internal water curing has a significant effect
on concrete. In addition to affecting hydration
and moisture distribution, it influences most concrete
properties, such as strength, shrinkage, cracking, and
durability. The following paper is an overview of experimental
methods to study internal water curing of
concrete and its consequences. The special techniques
needed to study internal water curing are dealt with
along with the consequences of this process. Examples
of applications are given and new measuring techniques
that may potentially be applied to this field are
addressed.
