What is Internal Curing?

  • Internal curing water is simply water curing where

the water is provided from inside the concrete

  • In the US this is typically done currently by placing

water inside the porous LWA

  • This can also be done using superabsorbent

polymers (SAP), absorptive fibers,

  • r recycled concrete
  • However currently these technologies

are not as readily available for use in pavements as is fine LWA

LWA = Lightweight Aggregate SAP = Superabsorbent Polymer

How Is IC Concrete Made

  • Except for LWA, IC concrete mixture design

generally is identical to that of conventional concrete with similar air content, water content, and coarse aggregate content.

  • Currently, IC in North America is typically

achieved by replacing a portion of the conventional fine aggregate (i.e., sand) with a pre- wetted lightweight fine aggregate.

IC = Internal Curing

Mixture Design for Internal Curing

  • similarities and differences between the design of a

conventional 6-bag mixture (water-to-cement ratio

  • f 0.36 and 6 percent air) and an IC mixture
  • assumes 15%

absorption of the FLWA

  • 7 lb of IC water for

every 100 lb of cementititious materials.

Joint Damage and the Role of IC

  • Concrete pavement joints damaged by salt

3Ca(OH)2 + CaCl2 + 12H2O  CaCl2·3Ca(OH)2·12H2O

Calcium Oxychloride

slide-33
SLIDE 33

Internal Curing for Pavements Prepared by Jason Weiss, Dennis Morian and Shree Rao Slide 16 of 36

IC and Calcium Hydroxide (CaOH2; CH)

  • Ca(OH)2 forms in solution and deposits in/on aggregate
  • Ca(OH)2 deposits on aggregate surfaces (few to 20 µm)

as stage III begins (before set)

  • Ca(OH)2 will react with deicing salt
slide-34

Internal Curing for Pavements Prepared by Jason Weiss, Dennis Morian and Shree Rao Slide 17 of 36

Reaction of SCM and the Role of IC

  • IC provides additional water that can help to

increase the cement that hydrates as well as the SCM that hydrates

  • As such, IC will

reduce (Ca(OH)2) and reduce joint damage

Alkali Silica Reaction (ASR) and IC

  • Internal Curing Benefits –

– decreases porosity through hydration, – accommodation space allows gel without pressure, – dilution (replaces reactive aggregates)

  • Internal Curing

Disadvantages – – Higher RH/moisture which would enable more ASR reaction to occur

RH = Relative Humidity

slide-37
SLIDE 37

Internal Curing for Pavements Prepared by Jason Weiss, Dennis Morian and Shree Rao Slide 20 of 36

Alkali Silica Reaction (ASR) and IC

  • Reactive (R) – Most reactive and expansive
  • Non Reactive Aggregate Replacement at 15 & 28% (m) –

Reduces expansion due to dilution

  • Internal Curing – LWA Replacement at 15 & 28% % (N)) –

more effective even than non reactive aggregate LWA provides space for expansive gel to form

  • 15% replacement

is CS volume

Benefits of IC - Thermal

  • IC makes concrete less susceptible to thermal

cracking, as “built-in” stress is reduced

Patching and Full Depth Panel Repair

  • Field trials performed in Indiana in 2014 used IC

with expanded slag aggregate in high early strength, full-depth concrete pavement patches

  • Application of IC in the high early-strength patches

provided a concrete with two distinct benefits when compared with conventional concrete: 1) reduced built-in stress and cracking caused by the restraint of shrinkage, and 2) increased water curing (from inside the concrete) after the patches are covered with curing compound and opened to traffic.

CRCP Pavements

  • Potential reduction in shrinkage, modulus and curling
  • May result in thinner sections or increased mechanical

performance and fatigue capacity

  • Initial crack spacing was approximately 3x longer than

those developed in conventional sections

  • Longer term monitoring has shown that this difference

in crack spacing decreases over time until the spacing is on the order of 20 to 30 percent longer than that in conventional concrete.

  • Cracks in internally cured concrete remain tighter than

those in conventional concrete

slide-44
SLIDE 44

Internal Curing for Pavements Prepared by Jason Weiss, Dennis Morian and Shree Rao Slide 27 of 36

JPCP Pavements

  • IC may improve durability by reducing moisture

loss and improving hydration, from the extended moisture supply provided.

  • IC reduces early age shrinkage and associated

plastic shrinkage cracking

  • Another potential benefit to jointed pavements is

a reduction in upward slab curling resulting from internal slab moisture gradients and stresses locked in at the time of set resulting from temperature gradients during curing.

slide-45

Applications of IC in Pavements 1

  • A number of IC pavement have been placed, primarily

in the Dallas-Fort Worth area using a relatively small substitution of intermediate aggregate sizes with lightweight aggregate.

  • A residential subdivision in south Fort Worth, Windsor

Park, constructed in 2006-2007. A survey after 8 years in service identified no significant longitudinal or transverse cracking, plastic shrinking cracking, spalling,

  • r other defects. In general, the pavement was in

excellent condition.

Applications of IC in Pavements 2

  • 1,400-foot section of

CRCP of State Highway 121 near Dallas in 2006

  • Initially the cracks

in the IC had a larger spacing

  • After several years,

the crack spacing was similar to that of the conventional sections; however, the cracks remained much tighter

Applications of IC in Pavements 3

  • A 360-acre Union Pacific

intermodal terminal located 12 miles from downtown Dallas within the city limits of Hutchins and Wilmer

  • Minor joint spalls and limited cracking have been
  • bserved. Performance has been similar to the

conventional sections, with both in excellent condition.

SLIDE 48

Applications of IC in Pavements 4

  • A residential subdivision in north Fort Worth,

Alexandria Meadows North, constructed in 2006-2007.

  • Project contained streets both with

and without internally cured concrete.

  • A field survey revealed both the

internally cured concrete and conventional pavement sections were in excellent condition, with very limited cracking.

  • No slab curl was identified.

Summary - 1

  • ICC has been successfully used in full-scale bridge

decks and concrete pavement patching projects.

  • ICC has similar workability, strength and mechanical

property development, reduced stress development and cracking, and similar or improved durability when compared with conventional concrete.

Summary - 2

  • Aspects of proportioning and quality control

– Excel worksheets for modifying a concrete mixture and for quantifying the properties of the aggregate – Centrifuge test has substantial benefits in obtaining surface dry conditions – Prewetting may need to be modified for IC pavements due to the volume of material used

  • Emerging Benefits for IC in pavement

– Potential to reduce joint damage caused by salt – Potential to reduce ASR damage (dilution/accommodation) – Reduced curing times

slide-51
SLIDE 51

Internal Curing for Pavements Prepared by Jason Weiss, Dennis Morian and Shree Rao Slide 34 of 36

Summary - 3

  • Field trials examining the use of ICC in continuously

reinforced concrete pavement, white topping, and jointed plain concrete pavements.

  • Specific improvements hypothesized include:

– reduced shrinkage, fewer and tighter cracks, – improved fatigue resistance, and – reduced slab curling/warping

  • Pavement ME Design suggests that the performance
  • f ICC pavements should be superior to conventional

concrete pavements, resulting in improved life cycle

Lessons Learned with Mass Production of Internally Cured Concrete for Pavements

Good control of the pre- wetting of lightweight fines is critical

  • Central mix plant

modifications likely needed for extra feed lines

  • Centrifuge testing is important
  • Stockpiling and pre-wetting

during production must be well planned to maintain consistency

Production rates can not be slowed with internally cured concrete for pavements
