Abstract:This study investigates the effect of the amount (from 0.6 % to 1.4 %) of crystallizing admixture (CA) on the shrinkage, density, porosity and mechanical properties of concrete specimens. A higher content of CA increased the total porosity of concrete from 10.6 % to 11.15 %. In contrast to the specimens containing 0.8-1.0 % of CA, the lowest amount of closed pores and highest total porosity was observed in the specimens containing 1.2-1.4 % of the CA. Compared to the control specimen, concrete specimens contai… Show more
