Shrinkage measurements of mortars with energetically modified fly ash

The shrinkage tests performed show a significant lower final shrinkage for higher fly ash content. The shrinkage level is in the order of size that is typical for mortars, and the level of shrinkage would be much lower, say about half as large, for concrete mixtures with the same type of binders. It would be interesting to study the shrinkage, both drying shrinkage and autogenous shrinkage, for the same type of binders used in concrete mixes.Godkänd; 2005; 20080522 (ysko
