A real size specimen (40 cm×40 cm×100cm) was made to simulate the structural members in construction site. The results show that the amount of HPC AS is comparable to that of drying shrinkage and even larger than it, so AS can not be omitted for HPC. By comparing the plain HPC and reinforced HPC specimens, the influences of reinforced bars on autogenous shrinkage and temperature distribution were obtained.展开更多
文摘This paper aims at monitoring the autogenous shrinkage (AS) of a high-performance concrete (HPC) column specimen using an embedded strain gauge just after concrete pouring. A real size specimen (40 cm×40 cm×100cm) was made to simulate the structural members in construction site. The results show that the amount of HPC AS is comparable to that of drying shrinkage and even larger than it, so AS can not be omitted for HPC. By comparing the plain HPC and reinforced HPC specimens, the influences of reinforced bars on autogenous shrinkage and temperature distribution were obtained.
