Abstract: In this study, we examined drying shrinkage and the water absorption characteristics of super-lightweight concrete having dry specific gravity of less than 1.0. The results show that the drying shrinkage characteristics including the change in length and weight reduction ratios became small for super-lightweight concrete having dry specific gravity of 0.95. Moreover, water absorption tends to increase remarkably in one minute for super-lightweight concrete having dry specific gravity of 0.95.
