Internally cured bridges stand the test of time

Construction Specifier

Internally cured concrete has been shown to reduce instances of both autogenous and dry shrinkage to decrease the potential for early-age cracking. This supports a concrete that is less permeable and, thereby, more resistant to chloride attack than traditionally cured mixes.
