Drying shrinkage of concrete made from recycled concrete aggregate
Recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) are used in new concrete mixes, termed recycled aggregate concrete (RAC). Among losses in most fresh and hardened properties, literature reports that RAC suffers increased levels of drying shrinkage compared to equivalent mixes incorporating conventional aggregates. This paper describes the procedure and results of a range of experiments conducted on a commerc...
متن کاملConstitutive Model for Predicting Ultimate Drying Shrinkage of Concrete
A constitutive model is derived from theory of elasticity for predicting ultimate drying shrinkage of concrete. The model was extended by incorporating the semiempirical composite model proposed by Hirsch and Dougill for predicting Young's modulus of concrete. Their composite model is the geometric mean of Paul's upper and lower limit boundaries of a twophase composite. According to the shrinka...
متن کاملNumerical simulation for the drying shrinkage of autoclaved aerated concrete
A mathematical model for the description of drying shrinkage of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) is presented, bringing together the hygrothermal and mechanical considerations. The verification of the model is done using an approximation of a real laboratory experiment. Then, the applicability of the model is demonstrated by a numerical simulation of drying shrinkage and wetting expansion of A...

متن کاملIntegrating Broad-Band High-Fidelity Acoustic Emission Sensors and Array Processing to Study Drying Shrinkage Cracking in Concrete
Array processing of seismic data provides a powerful tool for source location and identification. For this method to work to its fullest potential, accurate transduction of the unadulterated source mechanism is required. In our tests, controlled areas of normal-strength concrete specimens were exposed to a low relative humidity at an early age to induce cracking due to drying shrinkage. The spe...
