Expansion Mechanism and Properties of Magnesium Oxide Expansive Hydraulic Cement for Engineering Applications by Siqi Li, Yecheng Feng, Jinbo Yang

“…If magnesium oxide expansive concrete is used with restraining in real structure, extra compressive stress is generated and the porosity decreases, compared with that during free expansion. In particular, for strain-hardening cementitious composites, expansion confined with the fibers present in the composite is beneficial for refining cracks and improving the self-healing ability of these materials whenever exposed to humid environments. …”
