Drying shrinkage in concrete caused by drying and the associated decrease in moisture content is one of the most important factors influencing the long-term deflection of steel-concrete composite slabs. The presence of profiled steel decking at the bottom of the composite slab causes non-uniform drying from top and bottom of the slab resulting non-uniform drying shrinkage. In this paper, a hydro-mechanical analysis method is proposed to simulate the development of non-uniform shrinkage through the depth of the composite slab. It also demonstrates how this proposed analysis method can be used in conjunction with previously presented structural analysis model to calculate the effects of non-uniform shrinkage on the long-term deflection of the slab. The method uses concrete moisture diffusion model to simulate the non-uniform drying of composite slab. Then mechanical models are used to calculate resulting shrinkage strain from non-uniform drying and its effect on the long-term behaviour of the composite slabs. The performance of the proposed analysis method is validated against experimental data.

Slag cement or ternary blended cement is mainly used for non-structural lean concrete for the purpose of foundation work or protection of the waterproof layer on the roof of buildings. However, such non-structural lean concrete has a lot of drying shrinkage cracks, which makes it difficult to maintain the quality of the structure. Therefore, in this study, the compressive strength and the drying shrinkage of ternary blended cement(blended of portland cement, blast furnace slag, fly ash from combined heat and power Plant) for non-structural lean concrete were examined. As a result, it was confirmed that this non-structural lean concrete reduced drying shrinkage compared to the conventional ternary blended cement using fly ash from power plant.

This paper presents the results of four long-term experiments carried out to investigate the time-dependent behaviour of composite floor slabs with particular attention devoted to the development of non-uniform shrinkage through the slab thickness. This is produced by the presence of the steel deck which prevents moisture egress to occur from the underside of the slab. To observe the influence of different drying conditions on the development of shrinkage, the four 3.3 m long specimens consisted of two composite slabs cast on Stramit Condeck $HP^{(R)}$ steel deck and two reinforced concrete slabs, with the latter ones having both faces exposed for drying. During the long-term tests, the samples were maintained in a simply-supported configuration subjected to their own self-weight, creep and shrinkage for four months. Separate concrete samples were prepared and used to measure the development of shrinkage through the slab thickness over time for different drying conditions. A theoretical model was used to predict the time-dependent behaviour of the composite and reinforced concrete slabs. This approach was able to account for the occurrence of non-uniform shrinkage and comparisons between numerical results and experimental measurements showed good agreement. This work highlights the importance of considering the shrinkage gradient in predicting shrinkage deformations of composite slabs. Further comparisons with experimental results are required to properly validate the adequacy of the proposed approach for its use in routine design.

From a viewpoint of construction cost and preserving management of pavement, a policy of domestic pavement was gradually spreaded concrete pavement rather than asphalt. But the use of concrete with ordinary portland cement has shortages, such as dry-shrinkage, low flexural strength, etc. In order to overcome these problems, the concrete pavement using CSA expansive additive (Non-Shrinkage Cement) was studied and carried out the fie이 application. As the results, we find out Non-Shrinkage Cement that was distinguished in short-term construction by increasing flexural strength, shrinkage compensating and low-heat evaluation compared with OPC concrete.

The aim of study was to investigate the effect of flow, specimen geometry and adhesion on the measurement of linear polymerization shrinkage of light cured composite resins using linear shrinkage measuring device. Four commercially available composites - an anterior posterior hybrid composite Z100, a posterior packable composite P60 and two flowable composites, Filtek flow and Tetric flow-were studied. The linear polymerization shrinkage of composites was determined using 'bonded disc method' and 'non-bond-ed' free shrinkage method at varying C-factor in the range of 1∼8 by changing specimen geometry. These measured linear shrinkage values were compared with free volumetric shrinkage values. The viscosity and flow of composites were determined and compared by measuring the dropping speed of metal rod under constant load. In non-bonded method, the linear shrinkage approximated one third of true volumetric shrink-age by isotropic contraction. However, in bonded disc method, as the bonded surface increased the linear shrinkage increased up to volumetric shrinkage value by anisotropic contraction. The linear shrinkage value increased with increasing C-factor and approximated true volumetric shrinkage and reached plateau at about C-factor 5∼6. The more flow the composite was, reduced linear shrinkage was measured by compensation radial flow.

In the previous study, temperature monitoring of case about shrinkage fit process was performed and heat transfer model was developed in detail by feedback and tuning among monitoring result, process investigation, and analysis result. The gap element in contact between case and core was effectively used in analysis model. In present study, following things are performed to solve deformation of case due to shrinkage fit process on the basis of previous result. Above all, mechanical material properties of case are measured by case specimen for deformation analysis considering weldment of case. Deformation of case before and after shrinkage fit process is measured, too. Three dimensional deformation model is developed by the comparison and inspection between these experimental data and analysis results. Deformation analysis is simulated with the result of heat transfer analysis, in other words, non-coupled analysis is used. Finally the countermeasure for deformation is brought up through those.

In this study, we compared a plain mortar with the CAS-system shrinkage compensation mortar for Ondol that is Korean traditional heating system. The Ondol mortar is necessary to have properties as non-crack, fine flatness and stability for thermal changes. especially, mortar'crack prevention is to be most important property in Ondol mortar. To develope the stable material on the crack-prevention, we used to calcium-sulfo-aluminate(CSA)system in shrinkage compensation mortar. And so, we confirmed the effects of calcium-sulfo-aluminate(CSA) system for mortar's physical properties such as setting time, compressive strength and expansion ratio for crack prevention. The initial and final setting time of the CSA mortar is faster than plain mortar about 2hours. And, Compressive strength increased about 20% that plain mortar. The crack length per unit area, plain mortar is 0.426∼0.481m/m2. The Results of apartment construction field test, the shrinkage compensation mortar is excellent about the crack-reduce effect.

This study uses fly ash for non-shrinkage grout in order to develop strength of grout and improve its durability. We grind fly ash to the extent of $7,000cm^2/g$ and use ground fly ash and raw fly ash respectively at the proportion of 10%, 20%, 30% instead of OPC and compare the results drawn on the condition of each proportion. As a mixed material of grout, EVA and water-reducing agent is added in order to prevent bleeding and improve segregation resistance, CSA is added with a view to preventing drying shrinkage and improving early strength property. In regard to flow and flow time test for analyzing and evaluating workability, it is revealed that grouts of all mix proportions except raw fly ash 30% mix proportion satisfy all performance criteria. With regard to length change rate, grout with no admixture shows the highest shrinkage rate, but the rate is 0.0005%, extremely insignificant rate. As material age increases, compressive strength of two grouts, that is to say ground fly ash 10% and 20%-used grouts, exceed that of grout with no admixture or show high-level compressive strength.

The failure of expansion joints for bridges generally occurs in non-shrinkage mortar another problem is the release of anchors in expansion joints due to the impact and vibration that occurs when cars are driving over a bridge. In this study, to overcome the failure of expansion joints that is related to the failure of non-shrinkage mortar, an elastomeric mortar has been developed. The elastomeric mortar has a highly developed pull-out capacity compared with that of non-shrinkage mortar. Moreover, an anchor system that can be changed easily and prevent the fracture of expansion joints has been developed.
