Abstract:
Internal curing is an emerging technology in cement concrete industry to replace the conventional
curing process by supplying excess water throughout the concrete mixture. Internally curing will outperform
in road construction industry than conventional curing methods due to its convenience of use in harsh
environmental conditions. The research mainly focuses on finding a suitable internal curing concrete aggregate
(ICCA) in Sri Lanka to use in cement concrete applications. The study presents a summary of internally
curing concrete aggregate types available globally. Expansive clay available in the selected locations were
able to process and develop as internal curing aggregates.
