Abstract:
Various reinforcement types can be evaluated to determine their relative performance in controlling the restrained shrinkage cracking behavior of concrete. Two sets of published test data on restrained shrinkage cracking of slabs-on-ground are analyzed, and a parameter suitable for comparing the performance of various reinforcement types is identified.
