Investigation into Shrinkage of High-Performance Concrete Used for Iowa Bridge Decks and Overlays. Tech Transfer Summary
High-performance concrete (HPC) is used increasingly in buildings and bridge structures due to its rapid strength development, superior workability, and excellent durability. However, with high cementitious material content, low water-to-cementitious material ratio, and various admixtures, HPC often possesses a high risk of shrinkage cracking. This research project was aimed at evaluating various shrinkage components (such as chemical, autogenous, and drying shrinkage) in the HPC mixes used for bridge decks and overlays in Iowa, assessing the cracking potential of the HPC mixes, and providing recommendations for reducing the concrete shrinkage cracking potential.
