摘要
Self-desiccation is one common phenomenon of concrete with low water-to-cement (w/c) ratios, which may lead to the decrease of internal relative humidity (IRH), and therefore causing autogenous shrinkage (AS). Superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) are used as a kind of internal curing material to mitigate AS of concrete. The IRH and AS are significantly affected by the w/c ratio, and several attempts have been made to investigate the IRH or AS of concrete with different w/c ratios. However, the prediction model of AS considering IRH and w/c ratio of internally cured (IC) concrete is limited. In the present study, the effect of w/c ratio on IRH and AS of IC concrete was investigated, and a two-stage prediction model of AS based on the results of IRH for IC concrete considering the effect of w/c ratio was proposed. The experiment results and analysis indicated that IRH of IC concrete increased as increase of w/c ratio, and development of IRH experienced two stages: a water-vapor saturated stage with 100% RH (stage I), and a gradually reducing stage in which IRH decreased gradually (stage II); critical time of IC concrete increased as increase of w/c ratio; expansion peak of IC concrete increased as increase of w/c ratio; AS and AS rate of IC concrete decreased as increase of w/c ratio; IRH, critical time, and expansion peak of IC concrete were higher than that of ordinary concrete; AS and AS rate of IC concrete were lower than that of ordinary concrete.
