Internal curing of high strength concrete based on saturated microporous cenospheres

open access: yesCase Studies in Construction Materials
The development of high-strength concrete is hindered by its substantial autogenous shrinkage. However, the implementation of internal curing technology has been shown to mitigate this autogenous shrinkage of concrete effectively.

Shape correction factor for drying shrinkage in a concrete cross-section [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
A concrete member is subjected to loads for a long period of time, during which creep and shrinkage of concrete develop gradually. The prediction of this time-dependent behaviour is important as it may cause serious serviceability problems in concrete ...

Volume‐Stable Collagen Matrix as a Recombinant Human Bone Morphogenetic Protein‐2 Carrier for Maxillary Sinus Augmentation: An Experimental In Vivo Study

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Periodontology, Volume 53, Issue 2, Page 299-307, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim To test the hypothesis that a volume‐stable collagen matrix (VCMX) can serve as an effective rhBMP‐2 carrier for bone regeneration while compensating for the volume instability of absorbable collagen sponge (ACS). Materials and Methods (i) rhBMP‐2 release kinetics from VCMX and ACS were measured over 7 days by enzyme‐linked immunosorbent ...

Autogenous Shrinkage of HPC and Ways to Mitigate it

open access: yesKey Engineering Materials, 2014
Autogenous shrinkage strains may cause cracking of brittle cement-based systems. The lower the water/cement ratio of a mixture, the higher the autogenous shrinkage and the higher the probability of cracking. Cracking increases the probability of ingress of aggressive substances into the concrete, jeopardizing the durability of the material.

volumechange and strength characteristics of normal and high-strength mortars: effect of aggregate type and water-binder ratio

open access: yesCogent Engineering, 2018
This study investigated the impact of aggregate type on the volumechanges including drying shrinkage, autogenous shrinkage, and swelling for mortars made with different w/b ratios.

Effect of external expansive agent addition on the strength and shrinkage deformation of UHPC [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences
This study explored the dosage-dependent influence of two types of external expansive agents on the strength, early-age autogenous shrinkage, and drying shrinkage deformation of ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC). By analyzing the impact of expansive

Self-desiccation and self-desiccation shrinkage of silica fume-cement pastes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Self-desiccation is one common phenomenon of high-performance cementitious materials, which are characterized by low water/binder (w/b) ratio and high mineral admixture incorporation. As a consequence, large magnitude of self-desiccation shrinkage, a key

Extrudable Reactive Powder Concretes Hydration, shrinkage and transfer properties [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
International audienceThe behavior of five reactive powder concretes (RPC), with four of them being extrudable, has been studied since the first minutes up to more than 90 days. The extrusion force, hydration rate, free autogenous shrinkage at early age,
