This cluster of papers focuses on the mechanisms and mitigation strategies for autogenous shrinkage in high-performance cement-based materials. It explores the use of internal curing, superabsorbent polymers, and shrinkage-reducing admixtures to address early-age behavior, cracking resistance, and hygro-thermo-chemo-mechanical modeling of concrete. The research also delves into the effects of drying shrinkage and the development of strategies to control autogenous shrinkage in concrete.
