A.1 Scope
This method applies to the test of crack resistance of concrete with anti-cracking agent
during the hardening stage.
A.2 Principle
The concrete poured into the ring test mold produces the autogenous shrinkage and
drying shrinkage during the hardening stage, and cracks under the restraint of the ring. The
time taken from hardening to cracking of concrete poured into the ring test mold is taken as
the evaluation index of crack resistance of concrete with anti-cracking agent.
A.3 Test equipment
a）Test mold: it is composed of bottom plate, outer ring and inner steel ring. The
thickness of inner steel ring is 13mm±0.12mm, the outer diameter is 330mm±
3.3mm and the height is 152mm±6mm. The surface of inner and outer ring is
smooth and shall not be convex or concave. The outer ring can be made of PVC,
steel or other non-absorbent materials, the inner diameter of the outer ring is 406mm
±3mm, the height is 152mm±6mm. The distance between the inner and outer ring
shall be ensured 38mm±3mm after the installation of mold. The surface of bottom
plate shall be smooth and non-water absorption.

reducer shall meet the requirements of this requirement.
b）The cement consumption shall be 400kg/m3;
c）The sand percentage shall be 38%～42%;
d）The dosage of anti-cracking agent shall be determined by recommended dosage.
e）The water consumption of reference concreteshall be 152kg/m3 ，and the water
consumption of inspected concrete shall be (152kg/m3 ＋ the water storage of
anti-cracking agent). The water storage of anti-cracking agent shall be determined by
recommended dosage.
f）The consumption of water reducer shall be determined by the slump of reference
concrete and inspected concrete reaching 180mm±10mm.
A.5 The temperature and humidity of laboratory
The temperature of laboratory shall be 20℃±5℃, and the relative humidity shall not be
less than 50%.
A.6 Test procedure
a）The outer surface of inner ring and inner surface of outer ring shall be brushed with
release agent, and the strain gauge shall be pasted on the inner surface of inner ring.
At least two strain gauges shall be pasted on the inner surface of inner ring to
monitor the strain development of the steel ring. The strain gauge shall be pasted on
the middle height of inner surface of steel ring symmetrically. Then the inner and
outer ring shall be fixed on the bottom plate.
b）The concrete mixture shall be prepared according to the mix proportion of inspected
concrete in accordance with the requirements of A.4, and the fine aggregate concrete
37
shall be screened by 9.5mm standard sieve, then pour the fine aggregate concrete into
the test mold by two lifts. The specimens shall be formed by interpolation vibration
and the times of interpolation vibration shall be 25 times in each layer. At least three
specimens shall be formed in each group.
c ） The specimens shall be moved into the constant temperature and humidity
environment with temperature of 20℃±2℃, relative humidity of 60%±5% within
10 min after the formation, then the position screws on the bottom plate shall be
screwed off immediately, and the strain gauge shall be connected to the data
acquisition system within 5 min to start the test. The thin film shall be covered on the
surface of specimens within 5 min after the first data recorded by the data acquisition
system.
d）When the specimens are placed in the conconstant temperature and humidity
environment for 24h±1h(from the time of adding water), remove the outer ring and
seal the upper surface of specimens by paraffin or viscous aluminum tin film to
ensure the specimen can be dehydrated only through the external side. The time of
the first strain value recorded after the upper surface of specimen sealed shall be
taken as the initial time of the shrinkage deformation of specimen, which shall be
accurated to 1h.
e）The compressive strain of steel ring shall be monitored continuously caused by the
shrinkage of specimen. The temperature and relative humidity of contant temperature
and humidity environment shall be recorded every day and the cracking of specimen
shall also be observed once. Read the pressure strain data recorded by the data
acquisition system every three days.
f）The test can be stopped in case of one of following conditions occurring:
1）When the specimen appears crack;
2） When the abruptly decreasing value of two strain gauges on the steel ring not
less than 30με);
3）When the test time reaches 28d.
A.7 Calculation and processing of results
The time from when the first strain guage value is recorded after the upper surface
38
of specimen sealed, to when the the mutations of two strain gauges on the steel ring
exceed 30με, is taken as the crack age of the specimen, which shall be accurated to 1h.
The intermediate value of three specimens is taken ad the crack age of this group
specimens, namely the test results of crack resistance.
