The properties improvement of UHPC incorporation cellulose fiber and the autogenous shrinkage reduction mechanism with internal curing effect

open access: yesJournal of Materials Research and Technology
Internal curing has been proven to be an efficient way to inhibit shrinkage of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC). Cellulose fiber (CF), which has a hydrophilic surface and lumen structure, is a suitable internal curing agent without self-volume ...
