LONG-TERM DEVELOPMENT OF MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF CONCRETE WITH DIFFERENT WATER TO CEMENT RATIO AND INTERNAL CURING ABILITY

Long-term development of mechanical properties of concrete with different water to cement ratio and internal curing ability

Concretes with water to cement (or binder) ratios of 0.50.0.40, 0.30 and 0.20 were prepared and long-term mechanical properties were measured.Porous light-weight aggregates (LWA) in dosages of 10 % and 20 % were used for self-curing (internal curing) as a partial replacement of fine aggregates for some concrete types.Two environmental conditions we
