Abstract:
Autogenous shrinkage of self-compacting concrete(SCC) was studied by restrained ring test. Taking fly ash and granulated blast-furnace slag(GBS) content as main parameters, development of steel ring strains as function of concrete age was investigated; correlations between steel ring strains, effective autogenous shrinkage, tensile stress and cracking risk coefficient(CRC) of SCC specimens were studied. The results show that the autogenous shrinkage alone can cause cracking of concrete specimens. Fly ash is helpful to decrease the tensile stress induced by autogenous shrinkage, but high content of fly ash may cause reduction of tensile strength. The stress and the tensile strength of the concrete are increased by the addition of GBS. Ring specimens cracking risk coefficient is in the range of 1.00-1.25 and cracking risk coefficient changes with concrete ages and mineral admixtures.
