Evaluation of Shrinkage Compensated Cement
Test specimens containing concrete manufactured using Type II cement conforming to ASTM Designation C-150, and shrinkage compensating cements from two producers are compared. Testing included strain measurements in slabs containing various quantities of reinforcing steel, effect of internal restraint on shrinkage and cracking tendencies, and effect of various types of restraint on the sulfate resistance of the concrete. Under the conditions of the test program there was no indication of advantage in the use of shrinkage compensated cement over conventional Type II cement that would be applicable to heavily reinforced concrete structures.
