Autogenous shrinkage, speciality of high performance concretes [PDF]

, 2015
Autogenous shrinkage is a consequence of self dessication in pores of hardened cement paste and is, at high performance concrete significantly greater than that of the ordinary concretes, mainly due to low water to cement ratio.
