Utogenous Shrinkage and Creep Frames: What Are They Used For? Typical Results

The document describes autogenous shrinkage and creep frames that are used to (1) measure autogenous shrinkage of cement paste using corrugated tubes, and (2) obtain compressive or tensile creep strains on cement paste or concrete specimens. The frames allow studying viscoelastic properties and kinetics, providing inputs for modeling, and enabling long-term studies with humidity monitoring. Typical results show autogenous shrinkage curves and the influence of supplementary cementitious materials on creep compliance over time.
