Super absorbing polymers as an internal curing agent for mitigation of early-age cracking of high-performance concrete bridge decks (2011, background): “The processes of self-desiccation and chemical shrinkage are different: self-desiccation causes (long term) autogenous shrinkage due to reductions in internal relative humidity during hydration, where chemical shrinkage is due to the hydration products taking less space than the initial products [1,”
Coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical-chemical behaviour of cemented paste backfill in column experiments Part II: Mechanical, chemical and microstructural processes and characteristics (2014, background): “This normally happens in cement based materials with a high w/c ratio because there is more unbounded water (Holt and Leivo, 2004).”
Effect of drying conditions on autogenous shrinkage in ultra-high performance concrete at early-age (2011, background): “Generally, decreasing the w/c results in greater autogenous strains [7, 52, 53].”
Early-Age Cracking in Concrete: Causes, Consequences, Remedial Measures, and Recommendations (2018, background): “Different types of cement exhibit unique fineness characteristics and efficiency in terms of dispersion [12].”
Cracking Control of Concretes Modified with Short AR-glass Fibers at Early Age. Experimental Results on Standard Concrete and SCC (2007, methodology): “No water reducing admixture was used because its inclusion modifies the shrinkage and setting time of concrete [1].”
Assessment of durability of recycled aggregate concrete produced by two-stage mixing approach (2007, background): “Deformation is a complex phenomenon which is influenced by many factors including the constituents, the temperature and relative humidity of the environment, the age when the concrete is subjected to the drying environment and the size of the structure or member [3] [46] [47] [48] [51] [52] [53].”
