Abstract [en]

Plastic shrinkage cracking in cementitious materials is caused mainly by rapid and excessive moisture loss during mixture’s early ages, before sufficient tensile strength is gained. A novel model has been previously developed by the authors to estimate the severity of plastic shrinkage cracking in concrete. This paper presents findings of a series of full-scale experiments carried out to validate the accuracy of the proposed model. The experiments included investigating the impact of cement type, water-cement ratio (w/c), and admixtures (i.e., accelerator, retarder, and superplasticizer). The tests were performed in three rounds under similar ambient conditions using 3 slabs (3 m × 2 m) and 3 ring test moulds at each round. The results confirm the accuracy of the model in anticipating/comparing the cracking severity of the tested concretes.
