Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of concrete testing technology, and in particular to a concrete shrinkage testing device. Background Technology
[0002] A concrete shrinkage test device is used to measure the volume change of concrete during the hardening process due to drying and auto-shrinkage. The concrete is fixed by a rigid support to ensure that the specimen shrinks freely without external interference. The device simulates the actual engineering environment by controlling temperature and humidity conditions to ensure the standardization of the shrinkage test. The device adopts constant temperature and humidity technology.
[0003] Traditional concrete shrinkage testing devices mainly use steel structures and cast iron supports to fix the column specimens with bolts or clamps. The support points at both ends are steel planes or simple ball bearings, which allow the specimens to shrink freely in the axial direction. However, there is the influence of frictional resistance. The initial scale data is read manually and the ambient temperature and humidity are recorded. The manual reading is required, which results in high labor costs.

However, uneven internal temperature and humidity of concrete still lead to inaccurate measurements. Therefore, a new concrete shrinkage testing device is proposed to solve the above problems.
