[1293] STUDY ON DRYING SHRINKAGE OF SLAG CEMENT MORTAR WITH HEAT CURING: INFLUENCE OF LIMESTONE, GYPSUM, AND SHRINKAGE-REDUCING AGENT
Keywords:Drying shrinkage、 slag cement、 heat curing、 SRA、 C-(A)-S-H structures
This study examines drying shrinkage in slag cement heat cured at 60°C with added gypsum (Gyp), limestone powder (LS), and shrinkage-reducing agent (SRA). The heat curing accelerates hydration but increased shrinkage, which is gained that ettringite conversion to monosulfate may be related with the increase. Adding Gyp and LS stabilizes ettringite, promotes monocarbonate formation, and shrinkage. SRA further mitigates shrinkage by modifying the C-(A)-SH structures.
