Original Abstract

Generally, volume changes commences almost immediately after the cement and water come in contact during concrete mixing. Humidity of surrounding environment affects the magnitude of shrinkage. Hence, we took it into account by means of Eurocode 2. This paper proposes the evaluation of residual stresses in concrete. To describe the development of residual stresses, magnitude of free shrinkage, degree of its restrain and corresponding value of elastic modulus has to be known. All required quantities was measured apart from degree of restraint. It was tested three types of concrete mixtures. Obtained results show that the free shrinkage value can be significantly reduced by technological way such as the change of concrete composition.
