INFLUENCE OF THE GRADING OF AGGREGATES AND MORTAR/AGGREGATE RATIOS ON THE SHRINKAGE OF CONCRETE /IN FRENCH/

SHRINKAGE WAS MEASURED ON 13 TYPES OF CONCRETE CONTAINING COARSE AGGREGATES THE GRADING OF WHICH VARIED FROM 1,5/3 TO 1,5/45 MM AND WITH A CONSTANT SAND/CEMENT RATIO. RESULTS SHOWED THAT THE SHRINKAGE OF CONCRETE IS INFLUENCED BY ITS MORTAR CONTENT AND CEMENT CONTENT. THE LARGER THE AGGREGATES, THE FURTHER THE MORTAR CONTENT CAN BE REDUCED. THESE MEASUREMENTS ENABLED THE RELATION BETWEEN CONCRETE SHRINKAGE AND CEMENT SHRINKAGE TO BE VERIFIED. /LCPC(A)/RRL/
