Abstract

The high-strength concrete(HSC) compared to normal concrete represents higher autogenous shrinkage due to lower water-to-binder ratio(W/B) and supplementaries, fly ash(FA) and granulated blast-furnace slag(BFS), etc. The potential of early age cracking which reduces durability of concrete structures is normally influenced by autogenous shrinkage and degree of restraint. Therefore, this paper studies on the evaluation of the characteristics of autogenous shrinkage for HSC, ultra-high-strength concrete(UHSC) containing admixtures by experimental test and the test results are compared with existed prediction models.
