State-of-the-Art Report on Control of Cracking in Early Age Concrete
Source abstract
Abstract
Durability of concrete structures is seriously compromised by cracking in early age concrete, particularly in high-strength or massive concrete structures. Since early age cracking is influenced by various highly interrelated factors that affect the hydration process and stress/strain development, its behavior is highly complex and no rational methodologies for its control have yet been established. On the other hand, demands for high strength and massive concrete structures in modern cities are ever growing, regardless of the many durability problems. More comprehensive methodologies for the control are therefore essential to ensure sustainability of such structures. This report reviews state-of-the-art research on mechanisms that cause complex cracking phenomena and newly developed methodologies to control early age cracking.
