This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation carried out to evaluate the shrinkage of High Strength Concrete. High Strength Concrete is made by partial replacement of cement by fly ash. The shrinkage of High Strength Concrete has been studied using the different mixes from a minimum of 10% to maximum of 70 %. From the test results of the above investigation it can be concluded that the shrinkage strain of High Strength Concrete increases with increase in fly ash content. The rate of increase in shrinkage with time is uniform for low fly ash content, whereas it generally increases after 28 days for high volume of fly ash and the high volume fly ash concrete yields slow strength development at an early age.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
