Influence of lightweight aggregate and calcium sulfoaluminate cement on deformation of ordinary Portland cement mortar and concrete
Cracking due to shrinkage is a predominant cause of concrete constructions degradation. Several strategies were developed to mitigate shrinkage in concrete. The addition of pre-soaked lightweight aggregate (LWA) and usage of calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) cement are two common methods applied in …

Design and performance of cost-effective ultra high performance concrete for bridge deck overlays
… was examined. The efficiency of various shrinkage mitigation approaches in reducing autogenous and drying shrinkage of optimized UHPC mixtures was evaluated. This included the use of CaO-based and MgO-based expansive agents, shrinkage-reducing admixture, and pre-saturated lightweight …

Low-Shrinkage Fiber-Reinforced Concrete for Infrastructure Construction and Rehabilitation
… of this study is to develop two classes of low-shrinkage high-performance concrete (HPC): fiber-reinforced super workable concrete (FR-SWC) for infrastructure construction and fiber-reinforced self-consolidating concrete (FR-SCC) for repair applications. HPC with excess content of shrinkage …
