Abstract:

Copyright © 2011 by Research Publishing Services. Drying shrinkage is themajor contributor to volume changes in normal strength concrete. Several classes of shrinkage compensating admixtures are known to the concrete industry. This study deals with the literature review and categorization of different classes of shrinkage reducing fibers, especially polyethylene fibers, with the objective of introducing new types of shrinkage reducing fiber. In this investigation a special type of hydrophobic polyethylene minifibers has been used in different dosages in mortar samples. The experimental results on drying shrinkage aswellasonseveralotherpropertiesarereported.Thehydrophobicminifibersshowedremarkable improvement in shrinkage reduction even at very lowconcentrations (0.1%of cementweight).
