Early-age thermal crack control in concrete
Bamforth, P. B.
Early-age thermal crack control in concrete - London CIRIA 2007 - 112p. 30cm. + 1 CD - CIRIA C660 .
Provides a method for estimating the magnitude of crack-inducing strain and the risk of cracking. Also provides guidance, where cracking is predicted, on the design of reinforcement to control crack widths. For specific situations where cracking should be avoided or where use of reinforcement to achieve widths is uneconomic or impractical describes measures to minimise the risk; these include selection of materials and mix design, planning pour sizes and construction sequence, the use of insulation to reduce thermal gradients, the use of movement joints, and cooling of the concrete either prior to placing or in situ.
