Use of Expansive Agents to Increase the Sustainability and Performance of Heat-Cured Concretes

Heat-curing processes are often used to ensure the production rate of precast concrete elements, as this process increases the early strength of the material. However, the increase in curing temperature can negatively affect the final mechanical properties since cracking, and especially high porosit...
