The Importance of the Factors Affecting Concrete Shrinkage
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The loss of water from hardened concrete (stored in unsaturated air) causes drying shrinkage. Shrinkage of hardened concrete is influenced by various factors in a similar manner to creep under drying conditions. High cementitious materials content, particularly fine particles will reduce bleeding, but increase long term drying shrinkage. (The time of sawing the joints for induced cracking is now more important).

متن کاملEarly Age Shrinkage Behavior of Triple Blend Concrete
The early age shrinkage is responsible for the early age cracking of concrete. It is very critical for durability of concrete. The change in volume of concrete due to evaporation of water or dehydration process is known as shrinkage. To reduce the early age shrinkage utilized the supplementary cementitious material (SCM) in concrete. In present research industrial and agricultural waste byprodu...

Recent tendencies in concrete technology have been towards to high- performance concrete with a low water-cement ratio. However, high performance concretes have some problems. One of the problems is early-age cracking due to autogenous shrinkage. This study presents the results of an experimental investigation carried out to evaluate the autogenous shrinkage of high-strength concrete. Accordi...
متن کاملComparison of Permeability and Drying Shrinkage of Self Compacting Concrete Admixed with Wollastonite Micro Fiber and Flyash
Cement substitution in self compacting concrete (SCC) is emphasized to conserve environment, reduce cost and utilize waste materials. This paper focuses on comparing the permeability and drying shrinkage of SCC containing Wollastonite micro fiber (WMF), a cheap pozzolanic fiber with respect to flyash. Microsilica was added for providing required viscosity to maintain homogeneity of the mixes. T...
متن کاملDurable Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete with Supplimentary Cementitious Materials
Durability of concrete structure in marine environments is a big issue for many decades due to chloride attack. Chloride penetrates the concrete structure and accelerates the corrosion process of reinforcement which decreases the life of those structures. Also shrinkage cracks in concrete play main role for chloride penetration through concrete surface. Many researchers tried to find easy and ...
