Many high-performance concrete (HPC) bridge decks have been observed to exhibit cracking even after a couple days from casting. The shrinkage of concrete is one of the main causes of why bridge decks crack. Since bridge decks tend to restrain concrete from shrinkage, tensile stresses build up and cause the concrete to crack. Other factors also such as loading cause concrete to crack as well. It is important to test various HPC mixes under restrained conditions to analyze their cracking behavior and severity. The AASHTO test (PP 34-06, The Passive or Restrained Ring Test) is utilized to measure the shrinkage of HPC mixes containing slag under restrained conditions. Cracking patterns are also investigated as well. The use of six Vib...
