Experimental Study on the Impact of Admixture for Concrete Heat of Hydration and Early-Age Contractile Properties

Abstract:

During the technology development of modem concrete, concrete structure crack (especially early-age crack) becomes more and more serious and has been one of main research directions of civil engineering. This paper aims at the seriousness of concrete structure crack and presents one of main cause is that concrete early-age (especially autogenous shrinkage) become large through the experimental study. autogenous shrinkage are mainly belongs to temperature cracks and desiccation cracks. Analyses the affection of ash and water reducing agent on the hydration heat, under the optimum proportion experiment which aims at reducing he hydration heat of cement. The best program are obtained that double mix with 20% fly ash and 1.5% water reducing agent .Design mortar’s early anti-crack experiment, and study crack-resistance and other mechanical properties based on different ages & different mix proportion. From the experiment, analyses early cracking under the influence of admixtures. The mix proportion of 20% fly ash, 10% slag and 1.2% water reducing agent can minimize the creation of cracks.
