In the finer water-filled capillary pores (2.5 to 50 nm size) due to loss of moisture, curved menisci are formed, and the surface tension of water pulls the walls of the pores. Thus, internal negative ... drying shrinkage. The effects of aggregate-cement ratio and water-cement ratio on drying .
Coarse aggregate size within 10–25 mm had little effect on mean values μ 2. However, the standard deviations σ 2 and A 2 of C-M, C-L and C-XL were different from each other, which implying that with the increase of coarse aggregate size, dispersion degree of minimum principal strains decreased. 4.2. Effect on aggregate volume on …

Concrete containing 0.05% SCF exhibited reductions in shrinkage, on average, of 54% and 41% at 7-days and 28-days, respectively compared to the control concrete.
To elucidate the effect of aggregate size and volume on the non-uniform strain distribution in concrete, drying shrinkage of mortar and concretes were determined with 3D digital image correlation (3D-DIC). The distribution of shrinkage displacements and strains in mortar and concrete were analyzed.
That is why concrete containing sandstone aggregate has a higher shrinkage rate—about twice that of concrete containing granite, basalt, or limestone. ... Geometrical factors such as surface area to volume of concrete and depth of concrete can influence concrete shrinkage. Smaller size concrete member would suffer higher shrinkage compare ...
The Different Types of Concrete Shrinkage Four different shrinkage mechanisms combine to produce the overall shrinkage at any given time after concrete is placed. . These are: plastic shrinkage, chemical shrinkage, thermal ... and the type of aggregate), and the size and shape of the member." "Drying shrinkage may continue for many …
Physical meaning: The parameter the reflects the properties of aggregate and paste in mortar or concrete. δ is the aggregate size coefficient ranging from 1.0 to 1.1. Physical meaning: The parameter reflects the effect of aggregate size on shrinkage. The larger the aggregate, the larger the value. n 0 is the simulation exponent ranging from 1. ...
When the concrete with the 16 mm maximum grain is produced according to the same ratios of the mortar, the shrinkage of the concrete is less than the shrinkage of the mortar. According to these results, the shrinkage decreases while the maximum grain size is bigger than 9 mm. Coarse aggregate restrains the development of the crack and …
Aggregates without sharp edges lead to later cracking. For aggregates with the same maximum geometric size, the elliptical aggregate may offer weaker restraint to the shrinkage of cement paste than circular aggregate. (2) The minimum principal strain reflects the degree of shrinkage deformation of cement paste at early ages.
