The effects of internal curing, type of blended cement and coarse aggregate size on early-age expansion, autogenous shrinkage and strength of high-performance concrete were investigated. To do so, twelve high-performance concrete mixtures were developed and tested under sealed and room temperature conditions. The results were statistically analyzed using the paired comparison design method. It was shown that internal curing of HPC with pre-saturated porous lightweight aggregate allowed significant autogenous expansion and resulted in considerable reduction in net autogenous shrinkage. The type of cement used in concrete, which was either ordinary Portland cement, silica fume blended cement, or slag/silica fume blended cement, had a strong e...
