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 ...

Predicting the onset of rafting of c 0 precipitates by channel deformation in a Ni superalloy [PDF]
, 2010 The growth or shrinkage, normal to 001, of the interfaces between the γ matrix and cuboidal γ' precipitates is examined for a Ni-base superalloy, by considering the force acting on the interfaces. The force is produced by the precipitate coherency misfit

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 ...
