AS 3600 Shrinkage Calculator for Concrete
Use this free AS 3600 shrinkage calculator to estimate the design shrinkage strain of concrete. The calculator helps engineers, designers, researchers, and students calculate autogenous shrinkage, drying shrinkage, hypothetical thickness th, shrinkage coefficient k1, and the total design shrinkage strain according to the AS 3600 equations. It also provides the typical final design shrinkage strain after 30 years based on Table 3.1.7.2. According to the code extract, the design shrinkage strain is taken as the sum of autogenous shrinkage strain and drying shrinkage strain.
AS 3600 Shrinkage Calculator
This calculator estimates design shrinkage strain using the AS 3600 equations and also estimates the typical final design shrinkage strain after 30 years from Table 3.1.7.2.
Input Data
Results
Note 2: The second section gives the typical final design shrinkage strain after 30 years using Table 3.1.7.2.
Note 3: Table values are limited to f'c = 25 to 100 MPa and th = 50 to 400 mm. If your input is outside this range, the nearest table limit is used.
