On the Relationship between Interfacial Transition Zone and Alkali-silica Reaction

Alkali-silica reaction is an important factor affecting the durability of concrete, while the interfacial transition zone (ITZ) is the weakest in concrete. It is necessary to investigate the alkali-silica reaction of concrete from the viewpoint of ITZ.In this thesis, concrete specimen, with high activity of zeolite-base perlite as aggregate, mixed with different alkali and salt, [...]

Effects of Pore Solution on the Drying Shrinkage of Hardened Cement Pastes and Its Mechanism

The hardened cement paste is the primary deformation phase in concrete. The shrinkage of hardened cement paste is the origin of shrinkage of concrete. The hardened cement paste is a porous material. The pore structure and pore solution have a major impact on the drying shrinkage. The shrinkage may be different with the surface tension [...]

Research on Performance of Drying Shrinkage of Cement-Based Materials Based on Inverseanalysis

The deformation and crack of concrete and other cement-based materials have become worldwide problems, which attract close attention from science and engineering fields of concrete both at home and abroad. In many influencing factors, shrinkage often is at the origin of crack formation, and it is unavoidable and hard to control. Alkali have an important [...]
