100 × 200 mm concrete cylinders submerged in curing tanks containing water and lime, following the procedure established in ASTM International C511. This standard curing method ensures optimal hydration conditions and strength development for all the mixtures studied, including those made with natural aggregates as well as those incorporating recycled demolition materials.
