“…It is believed that the difference between the various measuring methods is largely responsible for variations in results. Table 10 summarises the common methods for measuring early-age shrinkage and their main features (Bjøntegaard et al, 2004;Gagné et al, 1999;Gary-Ong and Myint-Lay, 2006;Glišic and Simon, 2000;Hansen and Jensen, 1997;Igarashi and Kawamura, 2002;Jensen and Hansen, 1995;Lee et al, 2003;Lokhorst, 1999;Lura and Jensen, 2007;Østergaard and Jensen, 2003;Slowik et al, 2004;Tazawa, 1999;Termkhajornkit et al, 2005;Turcry and Loukili, 2006).…”

The long-term performance of concrete structures is affected to a large extent by the properties and behaviour of concrete at early age. However, the fundamental mechanisms affecting the early-age behaviour of concrete have not yet been fully understood. This is due to the various highly interrelated factors influencing it, and the complexity of testing techniques needed for its investigation. With modern developments in concrete technology, it has become essential to evaluate the influence of these interrelated factors and their implications for the service life of concrete structures. Thus, a more fundamental approach for investigating the early-age behaviour of concrete, along with more reliable testing techniques, is required. This paper provides a critical overview of research on the mechanisms that affect the properties of concrete and its performance at early age. It provides useful, concise and coherent information on the behaviour of concrete at early age, which should enhance the understanding of the implications of such behaviour on the service life performance of concrete structures.

“…This value rose to a value of 450 and 900 µm/m at 10 and 45 days, respectively. This was due to the pozzolanic reactions of the LF, which led to an increase in autogenous shrinkage [26,63,68,69].…”

Volume Stability of Cement Paste Containing Limestone Fines

et al. 2021

The common cause of cracking in cement paste is shrinkage due to different reasons, such as loss of water and chemical reactions. Incorporating limestone fines (LF) as a cement replacement can affect the shrinkage of the paste. To examine this effect, five paste mixes were prepared with 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20% LF as a cement replacement and with a water-to-binder ratio (w/b) of 0.45. Four volume stability tests were conducted for each paste: chemical, autogenous and drying shrinkage and expansion. Chemical shrinkage was tested each hour for the first 24 h and thereafter every 2 days for a total period of 90 days. The drying shrinkage, autogenous shrinkage and expansion were monitored every 2 days until 90 days. The results showed that replacing 15% LF enhanced the chemical shrinkage of the paste. However, autogenous shrinkage of the paste was found to increase between 0 and 10% LF and decline sharply at 15 and 20% LF. Drying shrinkage was found to increase with the increase in LF content. Expansion exhibited little variation between 0 and 10% LF and an increase for replacement above 15% LF. These results are discussed in terms of the formation of hydration products and self-desiccation due to hydration.
