Shrinkage Reducing Agent(SRA) was developed in order to control drying shrinkage cracks in concrete, and the use of SRA is increasing since it can control drying shrinkage cracks and improve the quality of concrete structures. Although there are many types of prediction equations of drying shrinkage strain, there is no prediction method which can consider the effect of SRA up to the present. Therefore, it is impossible to predict the tensile stress generated by drying shrinkage of SRA concrete, and to investigate the quantitative serviceability limit state of SRA concrete. In this study, the drying shrinkage of SRA concrete was investigated by experiment and analysis in order to suggest the predictability of drying shrinkage of SRA concrete. As a result, AIJ model, ACI model, GL2000 model showed there was a correlation between the predicted values and the experimental values within the error range of ${\pm}10%$. However, CEB-FIP model and B3 model underestimated the experimental values.

The causes of concrete shrinkage are very diverse, in particular, aggregates impact the characteristics of shrinkage in concrete by constraining the shrinkage of cement paste. Meanwhile, owing to the lack of natural aggregate, various alternative aggregates are being developed, and their application in concrete also becomes more diverse. This study aimed to experimentally evaluate the drying and autogenous shrinkage in concrete that was composed of electric arc furnace slag as coarse aggregates. And, the results were compared with prediction models. From the results, the application of electric arc furnace slag can reduce the drying and autogenous shrinkage. In particular, autogenous shrinkage is greatly decreased. The predictions using GL2000 for drying shrinkage and Tazawa model for autogenous shrinkage were similar to the experimental results. However, the most prediction models do not consider the impact of aggregates, hence, the new prediction model should be developed or improved.

To predict autogenous shrinkage of concrete, unsaturated pore compensation factor could be calculated by experiments of autogenous shrinkage of cement paste on the assumption that the differences between degree of hydration and strain rate of autogenous shrinkage are unsaturated pore formation rate. Applying unsaturated pore compensation factor on modified Pickket model considering contribution factor and non-contribution factor to autogenous shrinkage of concrete, experimental data and existing model were compared. From the results modified Pickket model was verified to present similar tendency between Tazawa model and experimental data, but CEB-FIP model might be corrected because this model uses ultimate autogenous shrinkage underestimated and the same autogenous time function of concrete material properties considering only compressive strength.

이 연구는 질량이 낮은 별탄생 지역에서 '에피소딕 질량수축 이론'을 관측과 수치모델로 테스트하였다. 스피쳐 우주망원경을 비롯한 여러 망원경으로 별 탄생 지역을 관측한 결과, 어린 별의 광도는 0.01 태양광도에 불과한 매우 낮은 값에서부터 높은 값까지 넓은 영역에 걸쳐 분포한다는 것이 알려졌다. 이 관측 결과는 70년대부터 있어 온 소위 표준 별탄생 모델의 예측과는 다른 결과이다. 관측과 표준 별탄생 모델의 차이를 풀기 위해서 에피소딕 질량수축 모델이 제안되었다. 테스트를 통하여 광도가 낮은 어린 별의 관측적 특성이 에피소딕 질량수축 모델로 한꺼번에 설명될 수 있음을 보였다. 우선, 카르마 전파 간섭계를 사용하여 전체 어린 별의 광도 분포에 해당하는 별 샘플을 선택하여 관측하였다. 표준 별탄생 모형은 중력수축이 진행됨에 따라 디스크 질량이 점진적으로 증가하지만 에피소딕 중력수축 모델은 디스크 질량과 별의 진화상태 사이에 특별한 연관관계가 없음을 예측한다. 여섯 개의 측정된 디스크 질량은 별의 진화상태와 상관없음을 보여주었다. 다음으로, 열아홉 개 어린 별의 이산화탄소 얼음을 적외선으로 분광 관측하고 분석하였다. 관측대상별 중 절반은 다른 분자와 섞이지 않은 순수한 이산화탄소 얼음이 존재한다는 증거를 보였고, 그 중 여섯 개는 순수 이산화탄소 얼음 존재의 강력한 증거인 두개의 픽이 나온 흡수선 형태를 보였다. 순수 이산화탄소 얼음 성분이 현재 광도가 낮은 별에서 존재한다는 것은 과거에 광도가 밝았던 시기, 즉 중력수축속도가 높았던 시기가 있었다는 것을 뒷받침한다. 화학진화모델에 에피소딕 중력수축 모델과, 일산화탄소 얼음이 이산화탄소 얼음으로 전환될 수 있다는 새로운 화학 네트워크를 포함한 모델로 광도가 낮은 어린 별에서의 순수 이산화탄소의 존재, 총 이산화탄소의 양, 그리고 관측된 일산화탄소 가스의 양을 모두 설명할 수 있었다.

In this study, autogenous shrinkage strain and prediction models of concrete specimens were compared with strength level and development rate. Also, concrete autogeneous shrinkage under various curing conditions was investigated. The results showed that autogeneous shrinkage increased as concrete strength increased. However, when the concrete strength was almost identical, the initial autogeneous shrinkage of OPC was larger than BFS, but the final autogeneous shrinkage of BFS was larger than OPC. Early wet curing reduced autogeneous shrinkage strain. Especially, when the early wet curing was applied for more than 24 hours, final autogeneous shrinkage was significantly reduced. The results showed that the existing EC2 models do not reflect concrete properties properly. Therefore, the revised model was proposed to better predict autogeneous shrinkage.

Drying shrinkage have influence on the durability of concrete structure. Various models have been suggested to predict the drying shrinkage, experimentally. In this study, the drying shrinkage with Concrete strength and Curing condition was measured, and compared with representative model code. As a result, drying shrinkage was reduced as W/C ratio decrease, and total shrinkage greatly reduced in 4 week wet curing case. The test results agreed with EC2 model better than the other.

The autogenous shrinkage of high-performance concrete is important in that it can lead the early cracks in concrete structures. The purpose of the present study is to explore the autogenous shrinkage of high-performance concrete with admixture and to derive a realistic equation to estimate the autogenous shrinkage model of that. For this purpose, comprehensive experimental program has been set up to observe the autogenous shrinkage for various test series. Major test variables were the type and contents of admixture and water-cement ratio is fixed with 30%. The autogenous shrinkage of HPC with fly ash slightly decreased than that of OPC concrete, but the use of blast furnace slag increased the autogenous shrinkage. Also, the autogenous shrinkage of HPC is found to decrease with increasing shrinkage reduction agent and expansive additive. A prediction equation to estimate the autogenous shrinkage of HPC with admixture was derived and proposed in this study. The proposed equation show reasonably good correlation with test data on autogenous shrinkage of HPC with mineral and chemical admixture.

In this study, the drying shrinkage strains were compared of 24~60 MPa concrete specimens subjected to various curing conditions and measurement methods were compared. And, the applicability of the test and prediction methods were investigated. According to the results, drying shrinkage was significantly reduced in 28 day curing condition. In the sealed curing case, drying shrinkage strain from demolding time was identical to the one of the standard curing case for low strength concrete, however, drying shrinkage strain was greatly increased than the standard case for high strength case because of the effect of autogenous shrinkage. The efficient measurement was possible using the embedded gage for concrete drying shrinkage, but, the measured value by contact gage was lower than the one by the embedded gage. The test results agreed with EC2 model better than the other.

Drying shrinkage is a very important properties of concrete, which is affected by environmental conditions. The environmental conditions are temperature, relative humidity, and wind speed, which is quite variable and its effct on drying shrinkage is quite complex, too. In this study, environmental effects on drying shrinkage wrer integrated into one variable-evaporation rate. In several different environmental conditions, evaporation rate was measured with Evaporometer and compared with PCA chart, and also compared with measured drying shirnkage to verify the possibility of being a single parameter. The results are summarized in a prediction chart and prediction equation for drying shrinkage.
