Drying shrinkage of concrete is affected mainly by water content, aggregate composition and size, drying environ-ment, mixture proportions, paste content, and binder char-acteristics. Lower water content, aggregate with a higher modulus of elasticity, larger aggregate size, longer moist curing, and leaner mixtures reduce drying shrinkage.

Aggregates without sharp edges lead to later cracking. For aggregates with the same maximum geometric size, the elliptical aggregate may offer weaker restraint to the shrinkage of cement paste than circular aggregate.
