Both ordinary and internally cured concretes were investigated under different dry conditions in terms of shrinkage, relative humidity, mass loss, strength development, and cracking risk. Its found that, when exposed to dry condition, the declining of relative humidity and integrated shrinkage of internally cured concrete develops at a faster rate than the ordinary concrete. The result also shows that an extension of sealed curing period of 28 days does not significantly reduce the magnitude of its integrated shrinkage. Internal curing efficiency can be substantially reduced when concrete is exposed to dry condition at early age. The strength of both control and internally cured concretes are very sensitive to exposure conditions, and strength reduction is observed when concrete exposed to dry condition for both compressive and flexural strength. Internal curing does not significantly improve the cracking resistance under external drying condition, but under the condition of sealed curing, the internally cured concrete doesnt develop cracking. Therefore, its best to utilize internally cured concrete in the mass concreting and in the interior as compared to the surface layer of structural concrete.
