Tests for thermal and weathering properties of aggregates - Part 4: Determination of drying shrinkage
This standard describes the reference method used for type testing and in cases of dispute, for determining the effect of aggregates on the drying shrinkage of concrete. For other purposes, in particular factory production control, other methods may be used provided an appropriate working relationship with the reference method has been established.
This standard is based on the testing of concretes of fixed mix proportions and aggregates of 20 mm maximum size.
NOTE 1 Guidance on the use of larger size is given in Annex A. Precision data is not available for variations in size and for variations in the water content of the test concrete.
NOTE 2 In those cases where the drying shrinkage of a source of coarse aggregate only or a source of fine aggregate (sand) only are required, the other component to be used should be, respectively, a fine or coarse aggregate of known low shrinkage.
NOTE 3 Aggregates with high water demand and/or porosity may in a concrete with a fixed water content result in a mix with insufficient workability to allow full compaction of the test specimens. This is likely to occur with aggregates combinations having a composite water absorption value greater than 3,5% or oven-dried particle densities less than 2,45 Mg/m³ (e.g. for recycled aggregates). In such instances a variation of the method (without precision data) may be carried out by one of the following changes to the concrete mix:
(a) use of aggregates in the saturated and surface dry condition.
(b) use of water-reducing admixture.
A note on the details of any modification to the mix design should be included with the test report.
Prüfverfahren für thermische Eigenschaften und Verwitterungsbeständigkeit von Gesteinskörnungen - Teil 4: Bestimmung der Trockenschwindung
Diese Norm beschreibt das Bezugsverfahren für die Erstprüfung und in Streitfällen für die Bestimmung des
Einflusses von Gesteinskörnungen auf die Trockenschwindung von Beton. Für andere Zwecke, insbesondere
für die werkseigene Produktionskontrolle, dürfen andere Verfahren verwendet werden, falls ein ausreichender
Zusammenhang mit dem Bezugsverfahren nachgewiesen wurde.
Die vorliegende Norm beruht auf der Prüfung von Beton mit festem Mischungsverhältnis und
Gesteinskörnungen von höchstens 20 mm Korngröße.
ANMERKUNG 1 Hinweise zur Verwendung von Überkorngrößen werden im Anhang A gegeben. Präzisionsdaten für
Abweichungen der Korngröße und für Änderungen des Wassergehaltes im Prüfbeton stehen nicht zur Verfügung.
ANMERKUNG 2 In den Fällen, wo die Bestimmung der Trockenschwindung nur für eine Sorte einer groben
Gesteinskörnung oder nur einer Sorte einer feinen Gesteinskörnung (Sand) erforderlich ist, sollte der andere zu
verwendende Bestandteil eine feine oder grobe Gesteinskörnung bekannter geringer Trockenschwindung sein.
ANMERKUNG 3 Gesteinskörnungen mit hohem Wasserbedarf und/oder Porosität können in einem Beton mit einem
festen Wassergehalt zu einer Mischung mit einer unzureichenden Verarbeitbarkeit bezüglich einer vollständigen
Verdichtung der Probekörper führen. Dies geschieht wahrscheinlich bei Gesteinskörnungen mit einem
zusammengesetzten Wasserabsorptionswert von über 3,5 % oder ofentrockenen Teilchendichten geringer als 2,45 Mg/m3
(z. B. bei rezyklierten Gesteinskörnungen). In diesen Fällen darf eine Abänderung des Verfahrens (ohne Präzisionsdaten)
durch eine der folgenden Änderungen an der Betonmischung erfolgen:
a) Verwendung der Gesteinskörnung in gesättigtem und oberflächentrockenem Zustand;
b) Verwendung eines Betonverflüssigers.
Im Prüfbericht sollte eine Anmerkung mit den Einzelheiten jeder Änderung an der Mischung enthalten sein.
Essais pour déterminer les propriétés thermiques et l'altérabilité des granulats - Partie 4: Determination du retrait au séchage
La présente norme décrit la méthode de référence utilisée pour les essais de type et, en cas de conflit, pour la détermination de l’effet des granulats sur le retrait au séchage du béton. Pour d'autres objectifs, en particulier dans le cadre du contrôle de la production en usine, d'autres méthodes peuvent être employées si une corrélation appropriée avec la méthode de référence a été établie.
Cette norme est fondée sur des essais de béton de composition définie avec des granulats de 20 mm maximum de dimensions.
NOTE 1 L’Annexe A donne des indications sur l’utilisation de granulats de dimensions supérieures. Les données relatives à la fidélité de l’essai ne sont pas disponibles pour les variations de tailles et pour les variations de la teneur en eau du béton d'essai.
NOTE 2 Lorsqu’il est nécessaire de déterminer le retrait au séchage uniquement pour un gravillon ou uniquement pour un sable, il convient que l’autre composant à utiliser soit, respectivement, un sable ou un gravillon de faible retrait connu.
NOTE 3 Des granulats avec une forte demande en eau et/ou une forte porosité peuvent, dans le béton, avec une quantité d’eau définie donner un mélange d’ouvrabilité insuffisante pour permettre le compactage des éprouvettes. Cela peut se produire avec des combinaisons de granulats avec un coefficient d’absorption d’eau supérieur à 3,5 % ou des masses volumiques réelles séchées en étuve inférieures à 2,45 Mg/m3 (par exemple s’agissant de granulats recyclés). Dans de tels cas, on peut faire varier la méthode (sans données de fidélité) en apportant l’une des modifications suivantes au mélange de béton :
a) utilisation de granulats saturés en eau et superficiellement secs ;
b) utilisation d’un adjuvant réducteur d’eau.
Il convient d’inclure dans le rapport d’essai, une note donnant les détails des modifications de la méthode de conception du mélange.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
laboratory sample
sample intended for laboratory testing
NOTE The laboratory sample is generally the penultimate stage in a multi-stage sampling procedure.
3.2
subsample
sample obtained from sampling increments or a bulk sample by means of a sample reduction procedure
3.3
test portion
sample used as a whole in a single test
4 Principle
The aggregate under test is mixed with cement and water and cast into prisms of specified dimensions. The
prisms are subjected to wetting followed by drying at (110 ± 5) °C and the change in length from the wet to the
dry state is determined. The excess drying shrinkage of the concrete is attributed to the aggregate, and is
expressed as the average change in length of the prisms, as a percentage of their final dry lengths.
5 Sampling
The laboratory sample to be used for the test shall be taken in accordance with EN 932-1.
6 Apparatus
Unless otherwise stated, all apparatus shall conform to the general requirements of EN 932-5.
6.1 Sample divider, of size appropriate to the maximum particle size to be handled or, alternatively, a flat
shovel and a clean, hard horizontal surface, e.g. a metal tray for use in quartering.
6.2 Test sieves, conforming to EN 933-2, appropriate to the sizes of aggregate to be tested.
6.3 Balance, of minimum capacity 5 kg and minimum accuracy of 0,1 %.
6.4 Single or gang moulds, suitable for casting three concrete prisms of dimensions (200 ± 2) mm x (50 ± 2)
mm x (50 ± 2) mm with 8 mm diameter stainless steel balls or hemispherical buttons or recessed inserts,
securely fixed to the centre of the inside faces of the 50 mm x 50 mm ends of the mould.
6.5 Vibrating table, capable of fully compacting the concrete in the moulds.
6.6 Measuring apparatus, incorporating a dial gauge with scale divisions of 0,002 mm and having a maximum
error of ± 0,002 mm in any half revolution. This gauge shall be rigidly mounted in a measuring frame and shall
have a recessed end which can be located on 8 mm diameter stainless steel balls or hemispherical buttons or
inserts cemented in the prisms (see 9.3). The other end of the frame shall have a similar recessed seating,
which can be located upon balls in the opposite end of the prisms.
A reference alloy steel rod of low thermal expansion, (205 ± 1) mm long, with 6 mm hemispherical ends shall be
used as a standard of length against which the readings of the gauge can be tested, thus enabling corrections to
be made for any changes in the dimensions of the apparatus between successive measurements of the prisms.
The reference rod shall be marked so that the same end can be kept uppermost during measurements.
NOTE Alternative measuring devices can be used in place of the dial gauge, e.g. linear variable differential transducers,
provided they are of at least equal performance and fitted with seatings compatible with the stainless steel balls or inserts as
appropriate.
6.7 Ventilated oven, thermostatically controlled and capable of maintaining temperatures of (50 ± 2) °C and
(110 ± 5) °C.
NOTE Different ovens for each temperature range can be used.
6.8 Thermometer, capable of measuring the oven temperatures of 50 °C and 110 °C to a precision of 0,5 °C.
6.9 Desiccators, large enough to contain three concrete prisms 200 mm x 50 mm x 50 mm containing
anhydrous silica gel as the desiccant.
