Autogenous shrinkage prediction models and microstructure of UHPC with single or binary addition of an expansive agent and steel fibers

The low water/binder ratio of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) often results in its high autogenous shrinkage. Our study explored the effect of the single or binary addition of a CaO-based expansive agent (CEA) and steel fibers on flowability, compressive strength, flexural strength, microstru...
