Assessment of early-age cracking of high-performance concrete in restrained ring specimens

High-performance concrete (HPC) is stronger and more durable than conventional concrete. However, shrinkage and shrinkage cracking are common phenomena in HPC, especially early-age cracking. This study assessed early-age cracking of HPC for two mixtures using restrained ring tests. The two mixtures...
