Effect of Curing Agents on Early Cracking of Road Concrete

Article Preview

Abstract:

Air-entraining agent improved the concrete structural viscosity under high-frequency vibration was the reason for this characteristics. For the phenomenon that road concrete early cracking, evaporation rate and early cracking testing was done to compare the different between three curing agents by the influence to moisture loss and crack formation. Studies have shown that: curing agent not only played a role that moisturizer, but also shortened the time of its moisture loss. Then, the quantity length and width of concrete cracks were significantly inhibited because of increasing the amount of curing agent.
