Effects of Temperature on Drying Shrinkage of Concrete

Abstract:

The present study investigated experimentally effects of temperature on drying shrinkage of concrete in different water cement ratio and containing mineral admixture. Concrete was exposed to a controlled environment of 20±1oC, 35±1oC, 50±1oC, and 60% ± 5 RH, respectively. The drying shrinkage of concretes with water cement ratio of 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5 were evaluated. The resuluts showed that with the increase of temperature from 20 oC to 50 oC, the influence of water cement ratio on drying shrinkage of concrete was gradually weakened. The shrinkage strain of concretes with replacement of cement by 20% of ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS), 10% of silica fume (SF), and 20% of fly ash (FA) were measured, respectively. Test results showed that GGBS had a little impact on drying shrinkage of concrete; Silica fume could increase the drying shrinkage of concrete significantly in the early and later ages, especially when concrete was subjected to high temperature; Fly ash reduced drying shrinkage in early ages and increased drying shrinkage of concrete in the later ages.
