The instrument ring method involves the measurement of the strain developed in a steel ring as the concrete shrinks. The measured strain is an indication of the level of stress developed in the concrete. The rate at which the stress develops in the concrete, as well as the time after initiation of drying when the test specimen cracks, can be used to classify the cracking potential of the concrete.","PeriodicalId":254369,"journal":{"name":"SP-227: Shrinkage and Creep of Concrete","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122190405","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Structural lightweight concrete (SLC), usually defined as a concrete with an air dried density at 28 days, has three key advantages:reduction in structure dead load; reduction in member size; and development of a precast technology as a result of self weight reduction that facilitates the transport and lifting of structural members. High performance lightweight concrete (HPLC) can be conceptualized a concrete possessing the characteristics of both HPC and SLC. Current design standards do not specifically consider HPLC. High strength and high performance lightweight concrete is a relatively new material and its long term performance, especially creep, is not well known. This might be one barrier to the use of HPLC. The objective of this research was to investigate the time dependence behavior of high performance, lightweight concrete for its potential use in precast, prestressed bridge girders.","PeriodicalId":254369,"journal":{"name":"SP-227: Shrinkage and Creep of Concrete","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131121486","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
