Reducing Curling from Drying Shrinkage of Concrete Pavements Through the Use of Different Curing Techniques

Abstract

Reducing the deformation in concrete pavements through the use of curing at early ages was the main concern of this study. In this project, supported by the Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT), results from the curling of the paste and concrete beams and the effects of curing techniques on them were discussed separately. Effectiveness of wet curing and how it changes the moisture gradient and surface properties, and also the efficiency of the curing compounds in reducing the moisture loss and curling deflections were investigated.Civil Engineerin
