Cement and Concrete Research 29 (1999) 1655–1662 Influence of key parameters on drying shrinkage of cementitious materials Beno?t Bissonnette*, Pascale Pierre, Michel Pigeon Centre de recherche interuniversitaire sur le béton, Université Laval, Sainte-Foy, Québec G1K 7P4, Canada Received 18 January 1996; accepted 12 July 1999 Abstract Drying shrinkage can be a major cause of the deterioration of concrete structures. The contraction of the material is normally hin- dered by either internal or external restraints and tensile stresses are induced. These stresses may exceed the tensile strength and cause concrete to crack. The evaluation of the stress distribution in the material requires the knowledge of the “real” free shrinkage deforma- tion. This paper presents the results of a study performed to evaluate this deformation and obtain a better understanding of the behavior of concrete under drying conditions. Shrinkage tests were carried out on cement pastes, mortars, and concretes. The influences of differ- ent key parameters were evaluated: relative humidity, specimen size, water/cement ratio, and paste volume. The results indicate that be- tween 48 and 100% relative humidity, the shrinkage of cement paste is approximately inversely proportional to relative humidity. Re- sults also show that the ultimate shrinkage of pastes and mortars measured on 50 ? 50 ? 400-mm specimens does not differ much from the “real” shrinkage measured on 4 ? 8 ? 32-mm specimens. Thus, for the specimen dimensions investigated in this study, the existence of a humidity gradient did not affect to a large extent the ultimate shrinkage strain. The influence of the water/cement ratio, within the range investigated (0.35–0.50), was found to be relatively small. Conversely, paste volume was observed to have a very strong influence. ? 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved. Keywords: Cement paste; Concrete; Drying; Humidity; Shrinkage 1.
