...N. Haghighat; Mahmoud Nili; A. Montazerian; Rezaii Yousef Creep and shrinkage, particularly in lightweight concrete, are known as complex phenomena that highly affect the serviceability of concrete. This may be due to the fact that creep and shrinkage behaviors are highly dependent on the behavior...

... is based on cement or cementitious materials. This type of grout, however, has at times shown serviceability issues that are mainly associated with dimensional stability (primarily shrinkage), which might also influence the bond to the concrete element. The authors of this article are investigating...

..., the effects of CNFs on certain properties of cement paste and concrete were investigated. For the cement paste, workability, shrinkage properties, and compressive strength were investigated. In the cement paste study, 32 batches with variable CNF concentrations in 4 groups with different water-to-cement (w/c...

... volumes, are related to important hardened concrete properties, such as shrinkage, freeze-thaw, transport, and strength. While the Powers-Brownyard model has many applications, it does not provide detailed solid phase assemblage information, and it can only be used for ordinary portland cement...

...Adel ElSafty; Ahmed Abdel-Mohti; Mike Jackson; Ivan Lasa; Mario Paredes Early-age bridge-deck cracking is a major problem affecting the durability of U.S. bridges. Many factors can cause early-age bridge-deck cracking including change in temperature, hydration, plastic shrinkage, autogenous...

... % of the total aggregate mass. Testing included drying shrinkage, static undrained triaxial shear strength and multi-stage repeated loading triaxial testing (RLTT). Although the target dry density ratio was set at 98 % of maximum dry density (MDD) for all compacted specimens, moulding moisture content was varied...
