Abstract:
SP20 Virtually all aspects of the causes, mechanism, and control of cracking in concrete are covered. Contracts are presented to show that in some plain concrete structures, cracking is to be avoided. In mass concrete, elaborate precautions are taken to insure that during the early life of the structure, thermal stresses, remain less than the tensile strength of the concrete. However, in reinforced concrete, cracking is inevitable . . . At times cracking is induced.

Albert C. Bianchini, Clyde E. Kesler and J.L. Lott
The cracking phenomenon and three cracking mechanisms are discussed in terms of the simple model of a reinforced concrete member with the reinforcement loaded in direct tension.

Surendra P. Shah and George Winter
Elements of a theory for the mechanical behavior of concrete are developed. . .This study provides information on the nature of inelastic behavior of concrete by examining its micro-behavior under a short-time loading. Based on this micro-behavior and on statiscal concepts, the study attempts to develop elements of a unified theory for the response of concrete from zero through the elastic, inelastic and descending ranges of the stress-strain curve to fracture.

Crack formation and propagation were studied experimentally and theoretically for concrete submitted to static compressive load, to sustained load, and to pulsating load. . .Fracture mechanism of hardened cement paste is discussed.

Cracking in portland cement concrete pavement is a problem in conventional pavements, both plain and reinforced. Efforts to control cracking involve the use of transverse joints. In effect, natural transverse cracks are replaced by man-made crack. But joints also have undesirable characteristics.
