Effect of crystalline admixture on early‐age residual stress and cracking potential of high‐strength concrete
AbstractCrystalline admixture (CA) has been extensively utilized as the commercial product for improving the performance associated with strengthening self‐sealing of cracks or decreasing the permeability of concrete. However, few researches characterizing the restrained shrinkage and cracking potential of concrete with CA at early age. This paper aimed to expand the limitation by means of the experiments including mechanical properties test and restrained ring test on high‐strength concrete (HSC) with CA from Xypex. The proportion of CA was 0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, and 1.5% by the mass of cement. The incorporation of CA enhanced the compressive and splitting tensile strength as well as modulus of elasticity tested in this paper. A significant increase was observed in free and restrained shrinkage of HSC with CA. Although incorporation of CA ameliorated the stress relaxation, residual stress in restrained concrete ring developed rapidly with the incorporation of CA due to the significant increase in restrained shrinkage at early age. Restrained concrete ring with CA demonstrated a higher stress rate, which implied a higher cracking potential. When CA proportion increased from 0% to 0.5%, 1.0%, and 1.5%, a higher cracking potential was revealed through calculation, and restrained concrete ring exhibited earlier cracking age. Caution should be exercised with the application of such CA in concrete mixtures under restrained conditions.
