[Mohammad6299]

ACI 231R-10 - Report on Early-Age Cracking: Causes, Measurement, and Mitigation

Author: ACI Committee 231 | Size: 7 MB | Format: PDF | Quality: Original preprint | Publisher: American Concrete Institute (ACI) | Year: 2010 | Pages: 46 | ISBN: 9780870313592, 0870313592

Early-age cracking is a challenge for the concrete industry. Materials selection, environmental conditions, and field practices all have considerable influence on the propensity for early-age cracking to occur. This document focuses on thermal- and moisture-related deformations; both are materials-related and contribute to early-age cracking. The document provides detailed reviews on the causes of deformation and cracking, test methods for assessing shrinkage and thermal deformation properties, and mitigation strategies for reducing early-age cracking.
