Since ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) is subject to large occurrence of shrinkage at early age due to its low water-to-cement ratio, the mixing of large quantities of powdered admixtures and the absence of coarse aggregates, UHPC presents large risks of shrinkage cracking caused by the restraints provided by the form and reinforcing bars. Accordingly, this study intends to evaluate the shrinkage behavior of UHPC under restrained state by performing restrained shrinkage test using ring-test. The test results reveal that increasing thickness of the inner ring increases the tensile creep at early age leading to the reduction of the average strain and residual stress of the inner ring.

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.
