Effects of curing conditions and addition of fine blast furnace slag powder on the initial performance of concrete using expanding material

Abstract

In this study was investigated the effect of steam curing in the case of adding expandable material to powdery high fluidity concrete containing blast furnace slag fine powder on two kinds of expansive materials, ettringite type inflation material and lime type expansion material. As a result, the constraint expansion strain increases with the ettringite type due to the increase in the steam curing temperature. However, it was confirmed that it decreased with the lime type expansion material.
