Effect of aggregate size on the restrained shrinkage of the concrete …
Aitcin [5] told that high amount of coarse aggregate decreases the free shrinkage but increases the micro-cracks in the paste. If the aggregate grain size is low or high, it causes poor workability and less durability [4,6]. The amount of the coarse and fine aggregate should be in equilibrium.
