The drying-shrinkage of concrete made with recycled concrete is greater by 10 to 30% compared to the control concrete. Shrinkage values depend on the total surface area; in the recycled aggregate the surface area is expected to be high because of the presence of cement paste. The freeze-thaw durability of concrete containing recycled concrete aggregate is similar to that of the control containing normal aggregates. 5, record 1, English, - reference%2Dconcrete

Le retrait au séchage du béton constitué de béton récupéré est supérieur de 10 à 30 % à celui du béton de référence. L'importance du retrait est fonction de la superficie totale; dans le cas des granulats recyclés, on s'attend à ce que la superficie soit plus élevée à cause de la présence de pâte de ciment. La tenue au gel et au dégel du béton contenant des granulats de béton récupéré est semblable à celle d'une éprouvette de béton de référence contenant des granules ordinaires. 3, record 1, French, - b%C3%A9ton%20t%C3%A9moin

Use of control joints faced with calking compound has also been recommended to control shrinkage cracking; however, this practice is marked by frequent failures to keep the joints sealed against leakage of rain. Steel joint reinforcement strengthens a concrete masonry wall, whereas control joint weaken it, and the calking in the joints requires considerable maintenance. 4, record 2, English, - control%20joint
