5. Conclusions
- The shrinkage behavior of the micro-synthetic fiber-reinforced mortar shows rapid development of shrinkage at an early age. The inclusion of fibers does not influence the shrinkage rate, but does affect the magnitude of shrinkage. The lowest shrinkage occurs in the mixture with a fiber dosage of 0.06%.
- The shrinkage rapid development of the micro-synthetic fiber-reinforced mortar at an early age is characterized by a shorter shrinkage half-time (3 days) and a faster trend of reaching asymptotic value (after 14 days) than shrinkage of normal concrete.
- The shape of the shrinkage curve of the micro-synthetic fiber-reinforced mortar cannot be accurately estimated by the ACI 209.2R-08 and CEB-MC 90-99 models. The difference between the measured shrinkage and the predicted shrinkage by these models has been evaluated quantitatively using the method of best fit line, residual analysis, and coefficient of error. The quantitative evaluations indicate a high erroneousness.
- The ACI 209.2R-08 and CEB-MC 90-99 models have been modified in such a way to reflect the shrinkage behavior of the micro-synthetic fiber-reinforced mortar. The modified models give fairly accurate prediction of the shrinkage.
