- Abstract
- For the disposal of radioactive low- and intermediate-level short-lived waste, surface disposal modules will be built in Belgium. In order to withstand accidental loading conditions, the walls of these constructions are densely reinforced, making an implementation in traditional vibrated concrete not self-evident. A Self Compacting Concrete can facilitate this execution. Questions however exist with regard to the cracking tendency of these concretes against restrained shrinkage, since this might impair the safety of the radioactive waste disposal. Therefore analyses of restraint shrinkage cracking potential of two SCC mixtures, especially developed for this application, was conducted within a research project presented in this paper.
