Standard Specification for Lightweight Aggregate for Internal Curing of Concrete
Also Known As:
The ASTM C1761/C1761M-17 standard specifies the requirements for lightweight aggregate that is used to provide internal curing of concrete. Internal curing is a process that involves supplying additional water to the concrete to sustain hydration and reduce early-age cracking. This standard includes test methods for determining the absorption and desorption properties of lightweight aggregate.
The standard provides guidance on calculating the quantity of lightweight aggregate needed for internal curing. It also clarifies that sieve sizes are identified according to the standard designation in Specification E11, and any alternative designations given in parentheses are for informational purposes only.
The specification includes notes and footnotes that provide explanatory material, but these do not constitute requirements of the standard, unless explicitly stated. It is important for users of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and consider regulatory limitations before utilizing lightweight aggregate for internal curing.
