Discussion
State whether the following is true or false.
Autogenous shrinkage is most pronounced in high water to cement ratio concrete.
Answer: B
It is most pronounced at low ratios, where there is little free water and self-desiccation sets in as hydration proceeds. High-strength concrete is therefore more prone to it than ordinary mixes. Internal curing with saturated lightweight aggregate can offset it.
