Abstract:
SP38 A comprehensive study of the use of expansive cements and their effects on cracking in concrete. Covers research, design, field applications, and self-stressing. Contains 20 papers, including reports on use of expansive cement in walls, reinforced concrete pipe, pavements, grout, taxiways, and slabs.

This report reviews the research and development of expansive cements during the past 50 years which culminated in commerical application in the 1940's, who is credited with discovery of expansive cements, showed promise but none of his findings were reduced to practice.

Shigeyoshi Nagataki, Koichi Yoneyama
The use of expansive cement in continuously reinforced and prestressed concrete pavements could be effective not only in comprensating drying shrinkage of concrete pavements but also in inducing a self-stress due to the restraint of expansion by subgrade friction and reinforcement, if the expansion of ocncrete due to expansive cement existed sufficiently for a long period. Therefore the application of expansive cement to concrete pavements were examined experimentally in the laboratory and field work.

P.K. Mehta, George Lesnikoff
In this investigation commercially available samples of shrinkage-compensating cements, Type K, Type M, and Type S, were examined with regards to hydration reactions, and their influence on the physical properties.
