description | Based on the underground reinforced concrete wall of subway stations (Hangzhou, China), this paper studied the influence of a MgO expansive agent (MEA) on deformation and mechanical properties of a reinforced concrete wall. The results show that the effect of the MEA with different activities to compensate for the shrinkage of reinforced concrete walls is different. For MEA-R (60 s), because the activity is too high, its hydration rate is too fast, and many expansions occur at the plastic state of the concrete, which cannot effectively compensate for the shrinkage of concrete. For MEA-S (220 s), due to its low activity, the early hydration rate is so slow that it cannot compensate for the shrinkage, but it compensates well at the later stage due to the continuous hydration expansion of MEA. For MEA-M (140 s), the shrinkage of concrete is well compensated for the shrinkage at the early, middle and late stages due to its moderate activity. After using MEA to partially replace fly ash and mineral powder, the compressive strength of concrete was lower at the early stage (0–28 days). However, in the later stage, the porosity of concrete decreased rapidly, and the compressive strength of concrete would also be significantly improved. Therefore, choosing a suitably active MEA can compensate for the shrinkage of mass concrete without reducing its strength. |
