Three-level experimental approach for creep and shrinkage of high-strength high-performance concrete
Graphical abstract Technical route of three-level experiment. Display Omitted
Highlights Proposing a three-level experimental approach for creep and shrinkage of concrete. Grouping specimens on three levels: “material level”, “component level” and “structural level”. Obtaining modified creep and shrinkage models based on the three-level experiment.
Abstract Most of the existing prediction models for creep and shrinkage are established based on the statistical regression analysis of test data drawn mostly from experiments performed on normal-strength concrete, and they might not be as applicable to high-strength high-performance concrete. The prediction precision can be improved by carrying out on the given concrete short-term creep and shrinkage measurements. A three-level experimental approach for creep and shrinkage is proposed in this study. Take the high-strength high-performance concrete used in the auxiliary shipping channel bridge of Sutong Bridge for example, the detailed three-level experimental process and results were presented. The specimens were grouped on three levels: “Material level”, “Component level” and “Structural level”. On the first level, plain concrete specimens were experimented in a constant temperature and constant humidity room. On the second level, creep and shrinkage of reinforced concrete specimens with different reinforcement ratio were experimented. On the third level, the long-term behavior of a segmental concrete cantilever beam, 12.8m long, under natural environment which was close to that of the actual bridge was studied. This experimental approach can provide a new train of thought to improve the predicted precision of the creep and shrinkage effects of the long-span concrete structures.
