The use of concrete with a reduced water-cement ratio improves the corrosion performance of both conventional and ECR in uncracked concrete but has little effect in cracked concrete.
The shrinkage of concrete is mainly affected by the type of cement, aggregate, water-cement ratio, chemical admixtures, pozzolans, duration of moist curing, size of members, relative humidity, and curing time.
Based on initial assessment, sampling and testing of the concrete may include determination of compressive strength, carbonation depth, air and chloride content, and water-cement ratio.
