Effect of Curing Conditions on Physical Properties of Mortar Blended with Expansive Agent

Abstract

Assuming precast concrete using expansion material, we will confirm the influence of curing conditions on the basic physical properties of mortar with regard to the free expansion coefficient, constraint expansion coefficient and strength, using two types of expansive materials widely used in Japan . As a result, it was confirmed that the higher the curing temperature, the higher the strength regardless of the addition of the expansion material. In addition, it was confirmed that both the free expansion coefficient and the constrained expansion ratio had an effect irrespective of the curing temperature of the lime type expansion material.
