چکیده

P. Priyadharshini, G. Mohan Ganesh, A.S. Santhi Abstract— The reduction in moisture of fresh concrete results in plastic shrinkage due to tensile stress induced by capillary pressure. When the tensile strength signs beyond the capacity of concrete, it cracks and this effect in early stage of concrete is termed as plastic shrinkage of concrete. This becomes a serious issue for large surface area members like slabs. The shrinkage of concrete under restrained conditions during early stages can be characterized by experiments. The present study was aimed at studying the plastic shrinkage property of fly ash aggregate concrete incorporated with bottom ash as fine aggregate. Concrete mix with combination of fly ash aggregate with 20% and 40% replacement of fine aggregate with bottom ash has been studied. The 20% replacement of bottom ash gives good results and higher percentages like 40% of bottom ash together with fly ash aggregate makes better combination to avoid plastic shrinkage of concrete. Higher percentage incorporation of bottom ash shows mild surface cracks in concrete due to plastic shrinkage.

Early Age Shrinkage Behavior of Triple Blend Concrete

The early age shrinkage is responsible for the early age cracking of concrete. It is very critical for durability of concrete. The change in volume of concrete due to evaporation of water or dehydration process is known as shrinkage. To reduce the early age shrinkage utilized the supplementary cementitious material (SCM) in concrete. In present research industrial and agricultural waste byprodu...

Comparison of Permeability and Drying Shrinkage of Self Compacting Concrete Admixed with Wollastonite Micro Fiber and Flyash

Cement substitution in self compacting concrete (SCC) is emphasized to conserve environment, reduce cost and utilize waste materials. This paper focuses on comparing the permeability and drying shrinkage of SCC containing Wollastonite micro fiber (WMF), a cheap pozzolanic fiber with respect to flyash. Microsilica was added for providing required viscosity to maintain homogeneity of the mixes. T...

Durable Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete with Supplimentary Cementitious Materials

Durability of concrete structure in marine environments is a big issue for many decades due to chloride attack. Chloride penetrates the concrete structure and accelerates the corrosion process of reinforcement which decreases the life of those structures. Also shrinkage cracks in concrete play main role for chloride penetration through concrete surface.  Many researchers tried to find easy and ...

A Study on the Reuse of Plastic Concrete Using Extended Set-Retarding Admixtures

The disposal of ready mixed concrete truck wash water and returned plastic concrete is a growing concern for the ready mixed concrete industry. Recently, extended set-retarding admixtures, or stabilizers, which slow or stop the hydration of portland cement have been introduced to the market. Treating truck wash-water or returned plastic concrete with stabilizing admixtures delays its setting an...
