Study on Different Diameter Porous Steel Slag to Early Cracking Resistance of Concrete by Internal Curing

Abstract:

In order to solve the serious question of early cracking of concrete in drying environment in the western of china. Using the same volume steel slag substituting fine aggregate (coarse aggregate) to mixing concrete with its porous characteristics, which are carried out by the knife-edge method. The result shows that: the compressive strength of steel slag concrete is better than the blank group at 7d and 28d ages;The Water holding capacity, the time of early cracking of concrete is delayed, the width and area of crack is significantly reduced with the increase of steel slag in same water-cement ratio. Simultaneously, the water retention and the crack resistance of concrete using steel slag stone is better than concrete using steel slag sand in same dosage. The porous steel slag can improve the internal relative humidity of concrete, restrain the early shrinkage of steel slag concrete, and help to improve early cracking resistance of concrete from the view of internal curing.
