Abstract

The shrinkage of concrete is an important index for its durability. This paper mainly introduces the common shrinkage types of concrete and their mechanisms as well as the methods commonly used in engineering and experimentation to reduce concrete shrinkage.

Keywords: Concrete, shrinkage, reduce shrinkage
