Study on Early Age Shrinkage Deformation of Concrete in the Climate of Dong Nai Province

Abstract

This paper analyzes the phenomenon of early-age shrinkage of concrete ( t ≤ 7 days) under the hot and dry climatic conditions of Dong Nai Province. The study focuses on evaluating the shrinkage levels of concrete with different water/cement ratios and proposes a model for predicting early-age shrinkage. The results provide a scientific and practical basis for enhancing the design and maintenance of concrete structures in harsh climatic conditions.

Keywords: Early-age shrinkage; concrete; harsh climatic conditions; Dong Nai.
