REVISED VIEW ON CHEMICAL SHRINKAGE
Extensively studied, chemical shrinkage is considered to be an intrinsic property ofPortland cement. It is generally assumed to be proportional to degree of hydration, since it hasits origin in the hydration reaction stoichiometry. Furthermore, generally accepted point ofview is that chemical shrinkage is independent of water/cement (w/c) ratio. The newrepresentation and interpretation of the chemical shrinkage of hydrating cement paste is givenin the paper. The chemical shrinkage of cement pastes with w/c ratios of 0.45, 0.33, 0.25 and0.21 was tested by weighing-in-water method. The degree of hydration of the pastes wasexamined by thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA). Finally, the effect of water/cement ratio onchemical shrinkage of hydrating cement paste was demonstrated and compared with theliterature data.
