Abstract

The article provides basic information about the shrinkage of concrete and discusses the major impact on the size and course of the shrinkage. There are the guidelines to estimate the shrinkage strain of concrete bridge structures for the high tensile strength-SCI in accordance with PN-EN 1992-2. The article presents the results of experimental studies which aim was to analyze the course of shrinkage in two types of specimens made of different composition mixes. The studies have also made possible to verify the actual size of the shrinkage strain and designated ones on the basis of the PN-EN 1992-2.
