Abstract

This study investigates the shrinkage deformation of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) under three exposure conditions: standard conditions (20℃, 60% RH), outdoor natural conditions (17℃ to 3℃, 17% to 53% RH) and low temperature conditions (3℃, 36% to 50% RH). Polycarboxylate superplasticizer and polyether shrinking reducing agent are used to control the workability and shrinkage deformation, respectively. The results show that the drying shrinkage of UHPC with SRA (UHPC-SRA) under standard conditions increases logarithmically with the testing time and tends to a stable value. For UHPC-SRA under 3℃, the average deformation on the 10th day is 8.9 times that on the 4th days. The early increase rate is the highest of the three exposure conditions. For UHPC-SRA under outdoor natural conditions, the later average deformation continues to increase at a higher rate. Both low temperature and outdoor natural conditions elevate the cracking risk of UHPC in field applications.
