AB  - As the data for free shrinkage alone was found to be insufficient to predict the risk of early- age shrinkage cracking of restrained concrete, we developed a new technique to characterize the cracking phenomenon based on innovated ring-type specimen tests. The ring test consists of a concrete annulus that is cast around a hollow brass cylinder. As the mortar hydrates and dries, shrinkage is prevented by the ring resulting in the development of tensile stresses in concrete. With this experimental device, we were able to predict the risk of cracking in mortars. For this purpose two kinds of tests were…
