Expanded Clay Applications in Internal Curing of Concrete
EPiC Series in Built Environment, 2020 Internal curing is used to reduce shrinkage and early age cracking of poured concrete. The internal curing process depends on providing internal moisture to hardening concrete using prewetted light weight aggregates, as expanded slates and shales. The main objective of this research is to produce internally cured light-weight concrete mixes to be used ...

An experimental study of concrete with expanded clay replacement
Sustainability, Agri, Food and Environmental Research-DISCONTINUED, 2023 This paper describes the mechanical characteristics of concrete that has expanded clay in partial replacement of coarse aggregates. Its properties are compared to conventional concrete in terms of compressive strength. The compressive strength of various mixes with replacement ratios of 20%, 30%, and 40% of coarse aggregate by expanded clay was ...
