Experiments on drying, selfdesiccation and shrinkage of concrete with different water cement ratio

Original language description

The paper is focused on experimental investigation of moisture movement in cementitious materials and related phenomena such as pore relative humidity development, self-desiccation, moisture loss, autogenous and drying shrinkage. Experimental layout involved four different concrete mixtures from ordinary concrete to ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) with water cement ratio varying in the range 0,25 – 0,52. All mixtures were manufactured industrially at concrete mixing plant during 8 hours in order to ensure as much as possible similar initial conditions. Characteristic compressive strength measured on cubes laid in the range 47 – 144 MPa. Different types of specimens were used: standard cylinders (150x300 mm) were designated for investigation of autogenous and drying shrinkage; segments of slab (300x300x100 mm) were chosen for measurement of moisture loss and pore relative humidity development; standard cubes (150 mm) were used for measurement of self-desiccation and compressive strength. Specimens were left in moulds with sealed upper surface for the period of 6 days. Afterwards they were demoulded and prepared for final storage. Surfaces of the specimens which were not intended to dry were sealed with synthetic resin. Environmental conditions in the laboratory were not controlled, however temperature and relative humidity were measured every 5 minutes using a datalogger. Effect of water cement ratio emerge very strongly from the results of shrinkage as well as drying, moisture loss and self-desiccation. Initial behaviour emphasized the complex character of volume changes during hydration and also raised a lot of questions regarding methodology and time of commencement of measurements of volume changes of concrete.
