Abstract This paper presents a model developed to estimate the long-term drying shrinkage of concrete. This model was derived by means of statistical analysis using published experimental data. The accuracy of the proposed model was favourably compared with four common methods. The proposed model was validated by comparison with available experimental data. The performance of the model was also compared to that of other models by mean of residual value and the sensitivity to some parameters and square error. It was found that a good estimation of long term drying shrinkage was obtained using this model.
