Abstract
The composition of a concrete mix has a significant influence on
the drying time to reach a given relative humidity in the concrete
pores. Knowledge of the influence on the drying of a specific
component in the concrete makes it possible to design a concrete
mix having a predetermined drying time. In the paper the effects
of the air content and the silica fume content on the drying time
are investigated on two concrete mixes having different
water/cement ratios. One concrete represents a normal concrete and
the other represents a selfdesiccation concrete.
