Abstract
Plastic shrinkage cracking in concrete is due to evaporation, which is aggravated by harsh environmental conditions. By controlling the conditions in a laboratory to cause high evaporation rates, plastic shrinkage cracks can be induced and then tested. However, in order to control these conditions (wind, temperature, humidity) a large and expensive climate controlled chamber is required. Super absorbent polymers (SAP) are designed to absorb...
