Filter by Keyword4 report(s) found with shrinkage in the keywords field 1 - 4 of 4 Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) is distinguished by its superior mechanical and durability properties. These characteristics are attained through a precise mixture design that includes a low water-to-cement ratio, high fineness supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), and steel fibers. This... The condition of concrete on bridge decks is one of the most costly parts of Wyoming Department of Transportation's budget and the cost of maintenance can result in inadequate roads or costly premature repairs. This proposal evaluates critical factors relating to early age shrinkage and proposes combining... Calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) cement was used to cast a prestressed voided deck slab bridge girder. The rapid-set properties of CSA cement allowed the initial concrete strength to reach the required 4300 psi needed in order to cut the prestressing strands 6.5 hours after casting. Prestress losses were... The ultimate objective of this project was to develop widely accepted recommendations on self-consolidating concrete (SCC) mixture design for its use in WisDOT bridge projects. This project investigated the effects of material constituents on the material properties of trial SCC mixtures made from precasters... |
