Abstract:The study on early autogenous shrinkage is an important method to predict early crack of cementitous materials with low water binder ratio. The novel automatic apparatus with high precision was used. The influence factors influencing early autogenous shrinkage of ultra high performance cementitous composite(UHPCC), which include coarse aggregate, different water binder ratios, different volume fractions of steel fiber, were investigated. The results show that two stages can be clearly identified during the early autogenous shrinkage process of UHPCC: rapid development stage and slow development stage. The early autogenous shrinkage of UHPCC increases with the decrease of water binder ratio. The autogenous shrinkage in 20h increases by 34.0% and 63.8% respectively when water binder ratio decreases from 0.24 to 0.20, 0.16. Coarse aggregate and steel fibers have great positive effects on the autogenous shrinkage of UHPCC. The autogenous shrinkage in 33h decreases by 23.9%, 60.5% and 86.5% respectively when the volume fraction of steel fiber increases from 0% to 1%, 2% and 3%. The linear relationship of autogenous shrinkage in 33h with both water binder ratio(below 0.24) and the volume fraction of steel fiber(from 0% to 3%) is clearly found.
