Abstract

In recent years, self-compacting concrete (SCC) has gained popularity due to its numerous advantages. While the fresh properties of SCC have been extensively discussed, there is a need for further research on its durability properties, particularly with respect to SCC cured at different temperatures. The present study aims to investigate the shrinkage, water absorption rate, and chloride permeability of high-strength SCC cured under water at four different temperatures i.e., 10 °C, 20 °C, 35 °C, and 50 °C. The results showed that the samples which were cured at temperature 50 °C gained the largest shrinkage, while the samples cured at 10 °C temperature resulted in low shrinkage value, low sorptivity and electrical resistivity after 90 days of curing.
