Mitigating shrinkage in ultra-high performance concrete using MgO expansion agents with different activity levels

To mitigate the shrinkage properties of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC), MgO expansion agents (MEAs) with different activity levels (R-MEA, M-MEA, and S-MEA) were prepared and incorporated into UHPC. The effect of MEA activity on the mechanical properties and volumetric stability of UHPC were...
