Original Abstract

The paper deals with the lightweight aggregate concrete, especially with the influence of moisture in the inner structure of the porous aggregate on the rheology properties. Above all, it tackles the issue of shrinkage measuring in the early stage of concrete setting and hardening. Three different mixtures of concrete were made in the experimental part for the purpose of testing. Differences between the mixtures were only in the degrees of saturation of the used porous aggregate. The other ingredients were the same in all mixtures. The results of measurement are presented in the paper.
