Abstract
The current research aims to mitigate high temperature concreting effects using internal curing (IC). Highly-absorptive normal weight aggregates (HANWA) were employed to deliver IC water. The investigated parameters included various cast temperatures, age, curing regimes and type of aggregates. A number of mechanical and durability properties were measured to assess the effectiveness of the proposed methodology of IC. It was shown that the employment of IC had a beneficial effect in all measured properties. This was more evident in the specimens exposed to adverse environmental conditions.
