Effect of Maintenance and Water–Cement Ratio on Foamed Concrete Shrinkage Cracking
This is a study on how to reduce shrinkage and improve crack resistance of foamed concrete. By selecting different curing temperatures and humidity, six different curing conditions were analyzed. The shrinkage deformation and maximum crack width of foamed concrete blocks with water–cement ratios of...

description | This is a study on how to reduce shrinkage and improve crack resistance of foamed concrete. By selecting different curing temperatures and humidity, six different curing conditions were analyzed. The shrinkage deformation and maximum crack width of foamed concrete blocks with water–cement ratios of 0.4 and 0.5, under six curing conditions, were measured by a comparator and optical microscope, and the cracking time was recorded. The effects of curing temperature, humidity and water–cement ratio on the shrinkage and crack resistance of the foamed concrete were analyzed by comparing the experimental results of each group. We studied the primary and secondary order of the three factors affecting the drying shrinkage of foamed concrete. The results show that: temperature is the primary factor that changes the drying shrinkage performance of foamed concrete, followed by the water–cement ratio, and finally humidity. The interaction of these three factors is not obvious. The shrinkage of foamed concrete increases with the increase in temperature; increasing the humidity of curing can control the water loss rate of foamed concrete and reduce shrinkage. Lower humidity and higher temperature will make cracks appear earlier; with an increase in the water–cement ratio, the initial cracking time is shortened and the cracking property of foamed concrete is improved. |
