Influence of CaO-Based Expansive Agent on the Deformation Behavior of High Performance Concrete

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to improve the volume stability of high performance concrete, the effects of deformation behavior of high performance concrete containing CaO-based expansive agent were investigated. Concrete samples prepared without or with CaO-based expansive agent were compared through expansion under water curing at 20°C, drying shrinkage and autogenous shrinkage measurements. According to the experimental and analytical results, the new type expansive agent can control volume stability for high performance concrete. The addition of 10% CaO-based expansive agent not only built effective expansion in high performance concrete whatever under saturated condition or under sealed condition, but also substantially reduced its drying shrinkage.
