Abstract:
A theory of the influence of aggregate properties on concrete shrinkage is presented. An equation is derived from which the shrinkage of concrete may be computed from the fractional volume, the modulus of elasticity, and the shrinkage of cement paste and aggregate. A comparison is made between theoretical and experimental results.
