Parametric Assessment Of Stress Development And Cracking In Restrained Mortars Containing Internal Curing Under Autogenous And Thermal Loading, Kambiz Raoufi, John Schlitter, Dale Bentz, Jason Weiss

Lyles School of Civil Engineering Faculty Publications

A finite element model is used to examine how the properties of cementitious mortar are related to the stress development in the dual ring test. The results of this investigation are used to explain the thermal cracking behavior of mixtures containing prewetted lightweight aggregates (LWA) by quantifying the contribution of several material properties individually. In addition to the beneficial effects of using the LWA as an internal curing agent to reduce the autogenous shrinkage of concrete, the LWA also helps to reduce the potential for thermal cracking due to a lower elastic modulus and increased stress relaxation. The rate of …
