Preventing plastic shrinkage cracking by monitoring the capillary pressure build-up in self-compacting concrete [PDF]
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2022 Plastic shrinkage cracking is a problem for the service life, aesthetics and durability of concrete members. It occurs when tensile stresses are induced in fresh concrete, through plastic shrinkage that is restrained.

Assessment of Shrinkage Strain Reduction SSR for RC Slabs with Different Thicknesses Strengthen with Different Layers of Geogrid [PDF]
The Egyptian International Journal of Engineering Sciences and Technology, 2023 This study presents experimental work to evaluate the efficiency of using the biaxial geogrid as a shrinkage reinforcement for RC slabs instead of using upper shrinkage steel reinforcement. Geogrid distinguish from steel reinforcement in its low cost and
