Shrinkage Reducing Agent

Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) is a material developing remarkable performance with compressive strength of about 200 MPa and flexural strength of approximately 30 MPa on which research is actively conducted today. However, UHPC is also characterized by a mixing composed of a high specific quantity of binder that is a W/B ratio of about 0.2, which requires to examine the effects of the autogenous shrinkage. Accordingly, this study investigates the effects of the use of expansive additive and water reducing agent on the autogenous shrinkage of UHPC at early age. To that goal, autogenous shrinkage test and ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) monitoring are conducted for a mixing of UHPC using expansive additive and shrinkage reducing agent. The experimental results reveal that the autogenous shrinkage of UHPC reduces by 24% for a mix of UHPC adopting both 7.5% of expansive additive and 1% of shrinkage reducing agent compared to the mix without admixture. Furthermore, this mix is seen to compensate the autogenous shrinkage occurring at early age when UHPC develops its largest stiffness in view of the UPV evolution curve. At that time, the shrinkage stress seems to be extremely softened.

This paper analyzed the mechanism of early autogenous shrinkage of concrete, and studied the influence of early autogenous shrinkage of high performance concrete-(HPC) admixed with different kinds of materials of bridge deck pavement. Four different concrete mixes were used: fiber, fiber plus expansive agent, fiber plus fly ash and fiber plus shrinkage-reducing agent. The result shows that the four different mixes can inhibit the autogenous shrinkage of HPC to a certain extent, the inhibitory effect of different mixes in the order of strong to weak is: fiber plus shrinkage-reducing agent, fiber plus fly ash, fiber plus expansive agent, and fiber itself. Furthermore, the inhibition mechanism of each mix was analyzed and a conclusion of mixture of fiber plus fly ash to be the best choice considered of economic and working performance is drawn as well.

Compared with the traditional water reducer, polycarboxylicwater-reducing agent exhibits the advantages of high water-reducing rate, cement paste fluidity and low slump loss, etc. The structure of polycarboxylates water reducing agent molecular is comb type. Water reducing agent can be used in the molecular design because it has high water reducing rate, low dosage, good slump stability, and have great potential in increase strength. In recent years, it has attracted many researchers' attention. Water reducing agent can block or destroy cement granular flocculation structure, through the surface function, complexation, electrostatic repulsion force and stereo repulsive force. Research on water reducing agent based on the application of poly carboxylic acid can realize functional design of water reducing agent, so as to promote the development of high-performance concrete.

This paper discusses the development of water-reducing agent and the present situation of the application of high performance concrete. The traditional concrete will be substituted by high performance concrete, green concrete. In the course of appearance of high performance and green, concrete admixtures plays an extremely important role. Concrete water-reducing agent is admixture of the main part. In the case of keeping liquidity, it can make water consumption reduce, so the concrete strength and durability can be improved. It is applicable to all kinds of industrial and civil construction engineering, and it can be applied to different strength grade of concrete. It has important significance for mass concrete engineering, marine building facilities, and component and product of high strength lightweight concrete.

Shrinkage Reducing Agent

This research is part of the mortar’s plastic shrinkage study. Contents in this article is related to how the Expansive Additive (EX), Shrinkage Reducing Agent (SRA), and Fly Ash (FA) help to reduce and control the shrinkage and to compare the effectiveness of these substances used in the normal curing, i.e., at 30 °C and in the steam curing process by using the factorial design with 3 factors and to be divided into 2 levels. Factors to be studied are the amount of EX, SRA and FA replacement. The test of plastic shrinkage was conducted in accordance with the ASTM C1579-06 standard, placing the strain gauge 0.5 centimeters beneath the surface in the middle of the mold, recording the shrinkage rate starting from the initial setting time for 24 hours. The results showed that, in normal curing, the EX influences the expansion while, in steam curing, the EX and SRA significantly influences the expansion. To add the FA in high volume along with the EX significantly effects the expansion for both the normal and steam curing. Furthermore, the study model and equation for plastic shrinkage of mortar are presented in the form of factor proportion to be considered from the factorial design study basis.
