Research

Seeking the ways to limit the autogenous shrinkage of HPC/UHPC is very important for engineering practice. Internal curing is considered to be an effective solution to counteract self-desiccation and autogenous shrinkage for the low water/binder ratio cementitious system, thereby reducing the early-age cracking.

It is acknowledged that under suitable burning conditions, rice husk ash has a high content of amorphous silica and a porous structure. In this project, the RHA is explored to mitigate the autogenous shrinkage of HPC/UHPC.
