The Effect of Harsh Environmental Conditions on Concrete Plastic Shrinkage Cracks: Case Study Saudi Arabia. [PDF]
Materials (Basel), 2022 Due to climate change and population expansion, concrete structures are progressively being subjected to more extreme environments. As the environment affects plastic shrinkage directly, there is a need to understand the effect of environmental changes ...

Performance of Manufactured and Recycled Steel Fibres in Restraining Concrete Plastic Shrinkage Cracks. [PDF]
Materials (Basel), 2023 Early-age plastic shrinkage cracks can reduce the durability of concrete slabs by creating direct paths for the ingress of aggressive agents and thus accelerating degradation due to environmental attack, in particular, in hot and windy environments.

Effect of steel fibers on plastic shrinkage cracking of normal and high strength concretes [PDF]
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.

Modelling the Severity of Plastic Shrinkage in Cementitious Materials [PDF]
International Conference on Communications in Computing, 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.

Evaluating plastic shrinkage and permeability of polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete
, 2016 Plastic concrete is susceptible to develop cracks due to shrinkage in dry and windy conditions. Addition of fibers could reduce propagation of this crack. On the other hand, permeability determines the durability properties of concrete.

Recycled Plastic Fibers for Minimizing Plastic Shrinkage Cracking of Cement Based Mortar [PDF]
, 2014 The development of new construction materials using recycled plastic is important to both the construction and the plastic recycling industries. Manufacturing of fibers from industrial or post-consumer plastic waste is an attractive approach with such benefits as concrete performance enhancement, and reduced needs for land filling.
