Abstract

The paper describes an experiment concerning the measurement of volume changes with focus on shrinkage in cement concrete. Measurement is carried out on large-scale specimens using string strain gauges, both internally and externally. The specimens are located in the laboratory and in the outdoor environment, so it will be possible to compare the resulting values from different environments. The measured results will be compared with the calculation model of shrinkage (model B4).
