Nano-engineered ultra-high performance concrete for controlled autogenous shrinkage using nanocellulose

For its superior mechanical strength and durability aspects, ultra–high performance concrete (UHPC) offers an advanced construction solution for resilient concrete infrastructures. Nonetheless, one major handicap of UHPC is autogenous shrinkage, particularly for insitu casting. This study proposes nanoengineering using nanoscale cellulose filaments as a novel approach for controlling autogenous shrinkage of UHPC. A typical UHPC mix was …
