Abstract

This research forms part of a vast experimental program designed to investigate the shrinkage and creep of compact reinforced composite (CRC), which is an ultra-high-strength concrete. In this paper, only results relating to autogenous shrinkage are presented. While shrinkage deformations were measured, cement hydration, pozzolanic reactions, and pore structure of concrete also were monitored to characterize the microstructural evolution of material. Very high autogenous shrinkage at an early age that stops 10 days after casting was observed. As far as we know, this sudden break in shrinkage kinetics has never been observed before in cement-based materials. The autogenous relative humidity measurements show high self-desiccation within the CRC. A relationship between autogenous shrinkage and self-desiccation of CRC is established and discussed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
