Influence of Cooking Oil on the Mitigation of Autogenous Shrinkage of Alkali-Activated Slag Concrete

This paper reports an investigation into the autogenous shrinkage, mechanical, and durability performances of alkali-activated slag concrete (AASC) with emulsified cooking oil (ECO). Properties of AASC including flowability, setting time, compressive strength, autogenous shrinkage, and carbonation d...

description This paper reports an investigation into the autogenous shrinkage, mechanical, and durability performances of alkali-activated slag concrete (AASC) with emulsified cooking oil (ECO). Properties of AASC including flowability, setting time, compressive strength, autogenous shrinkage, and carbonation depth are tested to clarify the effects of the ECO. Commercially available expansion agent (EA) and shrinkage reducing agent (SRA) are also applied on AASC to compare with ECO. Experimental results show that the utilization of ECO could significantly decrease the autogenous shrinkage of alkali-activated slag concrete owing to the reduction of surface tension and the denser internal structure. It also shows that cooking oil after emulsification could have better performances than that of plain cooking oil when applied on AASC. Setting time and carbonation resistance ability are also improved with the utilization of ECO. The application of ECO is considered a cheap and easy way to overcome the limitation of AASC.
