Abstract Nano calcium silicate hydrate (nano-C–S–H) has become a novel additive for advanced cement-based materials. In this paper, the effect of nano-C–S–H on the early-age performance of cement paste has been studied, and some micro-characterization methods were used to measure the microstructure of nano-C–S–H-modified cement-based material. The results showed that the initial fluidity of cement paste was improved after addition of nano-C–S–H, but the fluidity gradual loss increased with the dosage of nano-C–S–H. The autogenous shrinkage of cement paste can be reduced by up to 42% maximum at an appropriate addition of nano-C–S–H. The mechanical property of cement paste was enhanced noticeably after adding nano-C–S–H, namely, the compressive strengths were improved by 52% and 47.74% at age of 1 day and 7 days, respectively. More hydration products were observed and pore diameter of cement matrix was refined after adding nano-C–S–H, indicating that the early hydration process of cement was accelerated by nano-C–S–H. This was mainly attributed to seed effect of nano-C–S–H. The detailed relationship between microstructure and early-age performance was also discussed.

High-performance concrete (HPC) as a promising construction material has been widely used in infrastructures and high-rise buildings etc. However, its pretty high autogenous shrinkage (AS) especially in its early age becomes one of the key problems endangering long-time durability of HPC structures. This paper carried out the early age AS research of large scaled HPC column specimens by embedded Fiber Bragg-Grating (FBG) strain sensor. Temperature compensation for FBG strain sensor by thermocouple was also attempted in this paper, and the results were reasonable and acceptable comparing with the result compensated by FBG temperature sensor. Reinforcement influence, size effect and temperature effect on HPC AS were also analyzed respectively in this paper.

In this paper, a device for pore solution extraction from cement-based materials was presented, The relevant Factors of Efficiency of Pore Solution Extraction and the effects of squeezing pressures on the chemical concentrations of pore solutions were studied. The results shows, the efficiency of pore solution extraction can be effected by pressure values, squeezing duration, pressure maintaining time; A low rate of pressures loading is suitable for early-age cement pastes, and long-term samples can take larger rate; 30 minutes loading time can be adopted for specimens with all the different ages; no significant differences were observed regarding the chemical composition (Na and K) of the pore solution extracted between 300 and 900MPa.
