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.

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.

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 ...

Methods for measuring shrinkage [PDF]
, 2006 This paper presents findings from research amongst European grocery retailers into their methods for measuring shrinkage. The findings indicate that: there is no dominant method for valuing or stating shrinkage; shrinkage in the supply chain is ...

Mechanisms and therapeutic opportunities of the ribotoxic stress response in cancer
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Cancer cells' high translational demand creates opportunities to therapeutically target ribosome function. Ribosome stalling and collisions activate ZAKα and the ribotoxic stress response (RSR), which can trigger rapid, p53‐independent apoptosis in cancer.
