Modelling the Severity of Plastic Shrinkage in Cementitious Materials [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Conference on Civil Infrastructure and Construction (CIC 2020), 2020 "Plastic shrinkage cracking in cement-based materials occurs between the mixing and the final setting of the mixture, where rapid evaporation of the mixed water is the main cause behind the phenomenon. The induced cracks may impair the durability and sustainability of the structure by facilitating ingress of harmful materials into the concrete bulk. In

Early structure formation of foam concrete mix containing modifying admixture
Инженерно-строительный журнал, 2015 Cement based foam concrete of natural aging experiences high shrinkage of foam concrete mix in the formwork and shrinkage strain when drying. When managing the microstructure of the composite, namely the change (acceleration) of the microstructure ...

Plastic shrinkage cracking of concrete − roles of osmotic suction [PDF]
Magazine of Concrete Research, 2011 Plastic shrinkage cracking of concrete occurs when the stresses arising in the concrete, due to a combination of suction and restraints of deformation such as reinforcement or formwork, equal its strength. However, three different types of suctions should be distinguished, namely total, matric and osmotic suctions.

Effect of steel fibers on plastic shrinkage cracking of normal and high strength concretes
Materials Research, 2010 Naturally concrete shrinks when it is subjected to a drying environment. If this shrinkage is restrained, tensile stresses develop and concrete may crack. Plastic shrinkage cracks are especially harmful on slabs.

Some Geotechnical Properties of Plastic Soil Enhanced with Cement Dust
Journal of Engineering, 2021 Plastic soil exhibits unfavorited geotechnical properties (when saturation), which causes negative defects to engineering structures. Different attempts (included various materials) were conducted to proffer solutions to such defects by experimenting in ...

The effect of fibers on the loss of water by evaporation and shrinkage of concrete
Revista IBRACON de Estruturas e MateriaisShrinkage is one of the least desirable attributes in concrete. Large areas of exposed concrete surfaces , such as in shotcrete tunnel linings, where it is practically impossible to make a moist cure, are highly susceptible to plastic shrinkage at early ...
