CRD-C39-81 Test Method for Coefficient of Linear Thermal Expansion of Concrete  

Date: 
06-01-1981

This method covers the determination of the coefficient of linear thermal expansion of concrete test specimens by determinations of length change due to temperature changes. Because the thermal coefficient of concrete varies with moisture condition, being a minimum when saturated or oven dry and a maximum at about 70 percent saturated, it is important to select the relevant moisture condition for the tests to be
made.
