Original Abstract

The paper deals with the influence of additives on the progress of shrinkage and mass losses in self-compacting concrete. Limestone and fly ash at varying amounts were used as an additive in the production of four types of self-compacting concrete. Volume changes were observed from an early stage of setting (the measurement was commenced within 1 hour of mixing) using shrinkage drains with a moveable wall, followed by a long-term manual measurement using an external strain gauge. For the first 48 hours the volume-change measurement was continuous, and for the next few months it was performed manually. Mass losses were determined simultaneously with shrinkage – during the first 48 hours by weighing on a special weighing table capable of continuous recording, and manually afterwards.
