Plastic Shrinkage Cracking in Concrete [PDF]
Proceedings, 2019 Plastic shrinkage cracking in concrete is mainly a physical process, in which chemical reactions between cement and water do not play a decisive role. It is commonly believed that rapid and excessive moisture loss, due to evaporation is the primary cause

Influence of shrinkage-reducing admixtures on plastic and long-term shrinkage [PDF]
Cement and Concrete Composites, 2011 The use of shrinkage-reducing admixtures (SRA) has been suggested to improve concrete performance in terms of lower risk of cracking related to drying shrinkage. Various forms of SRA are commercially available and they may act through different mechanisms. Some SRA mainly acts on drying and weight loss leading to shrinkage. In this paper, the influence

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.

The influence of temperature on the cracking of plastic concrete [PDF]
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2022 High early age concrete temperatures can lead to many problems such as an increased rate of cement hydration, as well as an increased rate of moisture loss from fresh concrete which can ultimately lead to the occurrence of plastic shrinkage cracking ...

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
