Abstract
The effect of adding partially hydrated cementitious materials (PHCM) on the early-age shrinkage of ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) is investigated. UHPC mixtures incorporating a shrinkage-reducing admixture (SRA) are also tested for comparison. Combined effects of PHCM and SRA in reducing early-age shrinkage are explored. Results indicate a significant improvement in the early-age compressive strength of UHPC mixtures due to PHCM addition. SRA was effective in reducing shrinkage; however, PHCM achieved excellent early-age shrinkage reduction when used alone or combined with SRA. PHCM mitigates undesirable behaviour induced by SRA, including setting time delays and reduction in mechanical properties. The addition of PHCM provides an ecological and economic technique for producing precast and cast-in-place self-restraining shrinkage concrete. Indeed, unused/returned concrete can be recycled in new mixtures to enhance mechanical strength and resistance to shrinkage, and to mitigate set retardation effects.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
