Autogenous Shrinkage as a Viscoelastic Response to Self-Desiccation

MEASUREMENTS

EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS

MOTIVATION

Modern concretes incorporate mineral admixtures and low w/cHydration and pozzolanic reaction of these materials leads to self- dessication (internal drying that causes a reduction in internal RH)Reduction in RH reduction in capillary pressure bulk shrinkageIf shrinkage is restrained, early-age cracking may be a significant problem

Why is autogenous shrinkage important?

Hardened cement paste acts as a viscoelastic material under shrinkage stresses (see Fig. 1)To accurately predict stress distributions in concrete caused by self-desiccation or drying, we need to determine the time-dependent stress- strain relationship

Why do we need a viscoelastic model?

Since autogenous shrinkage and drying shrinkage are driven by the same mechanism, viscoelastic models for predicting autogenous shrinkage may be useful for predicting drying shrinkage as well

Are there any other uses for this model?

As water is removed from small pores, curved menisci develop This causes a pressure reduction in the pore fluid which can be related to RH through the Kelvin-Laplace equationIn low w/c materials, enough water is removed from small pores to cause curved menisci simply by hydration

MODEL BASICS

The reduction in pore fluid pressure caused by self-desiccation and the development of curved menisci may be used by modeling the hardened cement paste as a solid with spherical pores

The approximate linear elastic solution for the strain in the model system is given by:

S = saturation factor = pore fluid pressure determined by K-L equation and RHK = bulk modulus of porous solidK0 = bulk modulus of solid material alone

To obtain the viscoelastic solution, the transform analogy may be used Viscoelastic stiffness parameters are shown with a barShrinkage is simply a response to pore pressure and is analogous to any other loading such as uniaxial tension

Since hardened cement paste exhibits instantaneous deformation plus some recoverable creep, some variation of the standard linear model should be used for the viscoelastic stiffness parametersAging should be accounted for (e.g. solidification theory)
