Abstract Shrinkage of alkali‐activated slag (AAS) cement is a critical issue for its industrial application. This study investigated the mechanisms and effectiveness shrinkage‐reducing agent (SRA) magnesia expansive on reducing autogenous drying shrinkage AAS mortars that were activated by liquid sodium silicate (LSS) solution with modulus (SiO 2 /Na O molar ratio) 0‐1.5. The results showed increased increase LSS from 0 to 0.5, then decreased as up 1.5. consistently in LSS. oxyalkylene...
The hybrid use of a superabsorbent polymer (SAP) and expansive agent (EA) is beneficial for mitigating the autogenous shrinkage ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) without compromising strength. However, unclear mechanisms behind synergetic effect two materials may hinder more effective applications this method. This study clarifies interactions between SAP CaO-based EA (CEA) in UHPC matrix by quantifying content distribution water hydration products, underlining their influence on...
