Abstract: Shrinkage deformation is the volume change that occurs in any concrete, including the self-
compacting concrete (SSC). SSC has a greater predisposition to the emergence of shrinkage
than regular concrete, because composition of concrete has a greater amount of powdered
materials, and less maximum size of aggregate (16 mm). The paper give provides the new
shrinkage prediction models predicting shrinkage of SSC. The aim of dissertation is to examine
theoretically and experimentally association of optimal concrete mix design with the shrinkage
of concrete and different concrete curing methods.
