Abstract

This paper examines the impact of wet curing with different durations on differential drying shrinkage of concrete beams. The work shows that in severe drying conditions the magnitude of curling increased with the duration of wet curing of concrete specimens. Testing results are presented along with an explanation for the mechanisms observed. These findings provide guidance for wet curing durations for concrete slabs that must be resistant to volume change from drying.
