Long-Term Behavior of Low-Heat Cement Concrete under Different Curing Temperatures

Article Preview

Abstract:

The present study is to estimate long-term characteristics of low-heat cement-based ternary blended concrete prepared for reducing hydration heat in mass concrete. 15% modified fly ash and 5% limestone powder were added for partial replacement of the low-heat cement. To achieve the designed compressive strength of 42 MPa, water-to-binder ratios were determined to be 27.5, 30 and 32.5% for ambient curing temperatures of 5, 20 and 40°C, respectively. Test results showed that, with the decrease in curing temperature, the drying shrinkage strains tended to decrease, whereas creep strain increased.
