• Abstract:
  The objective of this study is to investigate the cracking of concrete bridge decks employing internal curing. Concrete mixtures incorporating internal curing, used in conjunction with slag cement with or without small amounts of silica fume (as partial replacements of portland cement), are investigated based on construction observations and crack surveys of bridge decks constructed in Kansas and Minnesota.
