Large Ring Test for Evaluation of Restrained Shrinkage Cracking: Calibration and Experimental Trial
Figure 1
The large ring setup for the restrained shrinkage test comprises a pedestal and a steel ring, illustrated in (a). Three measurement points (MP) are strategically positioned on the inner circumference of the steel ring, as depicted schematically in (b). Here, RIS, ROS, and ROC represent the inner radius, outer radius of the steel ring, and outer radius of the concrete ring, respectively.
