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

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.

Modelling the cracking of fresh concrete [PDF]
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2022 The cracking of fresh concrete, while still in a plastic state, includes both plastic settlement and plastic shrinkage cracking, which starts once the concrete is cast to around the final setting time. The cracking process is complex and is influenced by
