Concrete with a design strength of 100 to 150 N/mm 2 made using low-heat portland cement and silica fume (LSF) was subjected to thermal histories with different maximum temperatures (Tmax) to examine their autogenous shrinkage properties. The autogenous shrinkage properties were found to significantly change when Tmax exceeded 45 to 60�C. Comparing these results with past studies using portland cement, the authors clarified the autogenous shrinkage properties of LSF concrete and proposed a technique for their prediction by modifying conventional equations. Furthermore, the applicability of the proposed method was verified.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
