Internal Curing for Bridge Decks
WEBINAR: September 17, 2025, 10:00AM - 11:00AM PT
The New York State DOT (NYSDOT) is hosting a free webinar on its approach to implementing internal curing (IC) in concrete bridge decks.
NYSDOT conducted field and laboratory studies to evaluate the effectiveness of IC in controlling cracking and addressing durability concerns. As a lead state championing the use of IC, specifications developed also support adoption by all stakeholders involved.
Topics Covered:
- Bridge deck performance concerns with use of high-performance concrete mixtures.
- Consideration of IC to control cracking and improve service life.
- Laboratory and field evaluations and findings.
- Specification development and description of LWA replacement level.
- Industry perspective in the adoption of IC.
- Deck service life before and after IC implementation.
- Closing remarks and recommendations to agencies considering IC.
This webinar is hosted under the EDC-7: Enhancing Performance with Internally Cured Concrete Initiative (EPIC2). Internal curing increases concrete’s resistance to early cracking, allowing the production of higher-performance concretes that may last more than 75 years. Other benefits include versatility, cost savings, and a reduction of carbon emissions.
