AB  - At early-age in massive concrete structures, cracking may occur during hardening. This crack- ing may increase significantly the concrete permeability and thus increase leakage (tank, nuclear contain- ment,…) and reduce the durability. The restrained shrinkage ring is a good test to determine the early-age concrete behavior (creep strain and cracking) due to the autogenous and drying shrinkage. This test shows that at 20°C and without drying, the amplitude of autogenous shrinkage is not high enough to cause cracking (for our concrete mix which is representative of nuclear power plant containment). Indeed, in this configura- tion, thermal shrinkage does not occur.…
