Restrained Shrinkage Test of High Performance Concrete Ring Specimen

Abstract:

The aim of this study was to quantify the restrained shrinkage of high performance concrete (HPC). Ring test was used for the measurement of restrained shrinkage. Mechanical properties of the HPC as well as free shrinkage were determined for assessment of theoretical stress in shrinkage restrained material. The results from the ring test showed a lot of information about material such as development of actual residual stress, cracking potential, microcracks and relaxation.
