The Influence and Suppression Effect of Limestone Powder on Concrete Shrinkage

Abstract:

In order to study the suppression effect of increasing concrete shrinkage induced by limestone powder, the aliphatic water reducer and polycarboxylate superplasticizer was used in experiments about effect of limestone powder content on concrete shrinkage. The results showed that the concrete shrinkage increased as the limestone powder content increasing. Comparing to the aliphatic water reducer, the polycarboxylate superplasticizer showed obviously effect on concrete shrinkage suppression. Besides, the polycarboxylate superplasticizer can reduce the sensitivity of concrete cracking. The polycarboxylate superplasticizer using in concrete can effectively reduce the emission amount and environmental pollution in the production process of artificial sand, simultaneously, this is helpful to improve the volume stability of concrete.
