This document specifies the procedure for the determination of total shrinkage of concrete specimens in drying conditions.
NOTE 1 Possible shrinkage or length changes occurring before 24 h of age, and which could have significant amplitude and/or consequences, in case of restraint, could need to be measured according to a complementary procedure not covered by this document.
NOTE 2 Information on a simplified procedure for the determination of autogenous shrinkage is given in Annex A.
The test is suitable for specimens having a declared value ofDof the coarsest fraction of aggregates actually used in the concrete (Dmax) not greater than 32 mm.Cross References:EN 12390-2EN 12504-1EN 12390-1EN 12350-1EN 1992-1-1:2004All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
