Due to its low water content,it is difficult for expansive agent to have an effective expansive effect on high strength concrete to compensate its extensive shrinkage and form a certain expansion.To solve this problem,water-releasing material with water storage and releasing characteristics was incorporated into high strength micro-expansive concrete to provide internal curing,and expansive effect of expansive agent was improved.Migration of water from initially saturated water-releasing material to the surrounding hydrating cement paste was investigated.Based on a given efficient diffusion distance of water stored in water-releasing material,the mass and real water-cement ratio of cured cement paste were estimated.At the same time,the effect of internal curing of water-releasing material on the volume deformation of high strength micro-expansive concrete was investigated.
