SHRINKAGE AND CREEP OF CONCRETE AS AFFECTED BY THE FINENESS OF PORTLAND CEMENT

TESTS ARE REPORTED ON THE SHRINKAGE AND CREEP OF CONCRETE MADE WITH PORTLAND CEMENT OF THREE DIFFERENT GRADES OF FINENESS BUT OF SIMILAR COMPOSITION EXCEPT FOR GYPSUM CONTENT. THE PROGRAM COMPRISED TESTS OF UNRESTRAINED SHRINKAGE, RESTRAINED SHRINKAGE, AND CRACKING BY A RING TEST AND CREEP OVER PERIODS UP TO 4.5 -A-HALF YEARS. THE RESULTS INDICATE THAT THERE IS AN INCREASE OF UNRESTRAINED SHRINKAGE AND CREEP WITH FINER CEMENT, BUT OWING TO THE HIGHER STRENGTH, THERE IS NO TENDENCY FOR UNDESIRABLY RAPID SHRINKAGE CRACKING TO OCCUR. /RRL(A)/
