Plastic Shrinkage Cracking in Concrete
, 2016 Early-age (up to 24 hours after casting) cracking may become problematic in any concrete structure. It can damage the aesthetics of the concrete member and decrease the durability and serviceability by facilitating the ingress of harmful material. Moreover, these cracks may expand gradually during the member’s service-life due to long-term shrinkage ...

16th International Conference on Durability of Building Materials and Components, 2023 . 3D-printed concrete elements are highly vulnerable to early-age shrinkage and cracking compared to conventionally cast concrete elements. Material compositions of printable concretes and complete renunciation of shuttering are responsible for ...

Prediction of Plastic Shrinkage Cracking of Self‐Compacting Concrete [PDF]
Advances in Civil Engineering, 2019 Concrete exposed to hot climatic conditions is prone to plastic shrinkage after casting within the first few hours due to the water evaporation and restraining conditions of concrete. This cracking is more commonly observed in concrete elements with a large surface area exposed to drying.

The importance of desiccation cracks in water migration inside expansive ground [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 Highly plastic clays are generally regarded as very impermeable materials. However, it is well known that desiccation cracks, as well as inherent fissuring, increase the in-situ apparent permeability inside the active zone.

Crack path and fracture surface modifications in cement composites [PDF]
Fracture and Structural Integrity, 2015 There is a tremendous increase in the use of high strength and high performance self-consolidating cementitious composites due to their superior workability and mechanical strengths. Cement composites are quasi-brittle in nature and possess extremely low

Durability of Latex Modified Concrete Mixed with a Shrinkage Reducing Agent for Bridge Deck Pavement
International Journal of Concrete Structures and Materials, 2018 Latex modified concrete (LMC) is used for a bridge deck pavement method that was introduced in Korea in the 2000s, and it is currently the concrete pavement method being used for most highway bridges.
