Concrete shrinkage: effect on volume, how to calculate and methods to reduce it
Shrinkage is a natural process accompanying the strength gain of a concrete monolith, in which its volume decreases.
Anyone who has ever worked with concrete knows how difficult it can be, especially if you need to make a perfect cut for a door or window opening.
Shrinkage is a natural process accompanying the strength gain of a concrete monolith, in which its volume decreases.
By definition, density is a scalar quantity indicating the ratio of the weight of a material to the volume it occupies.
Each batch of concrete is accompanied by a passport, where the strength, density and other characteristics are specified.
