Shrinkage. Definition: decrease in either length or volume of a material resulting from changes in moisture content or chemical changes.- ACI Concrete Terminology. Drying shrinkage is the contraction in the concrete caused by moisture loss from drying concrete. Shrinkage-compensating concrete is used to minimize cracking and structural movement caused by drying shrinkage in concrete. The amount of drying shrinkage that occurs in concrete structures depends on the constituent materials, mixture proportions, curing, drying environment, and restraint.
Concrete should be in place within 90 minutes of its loading at the concrete plant. Is it true that concrete shrinks? Yes. As it cures, concrete shrinks roughly Â½â for every 100 linear feet. Doesnât this shrinkage cause the concrete to crack? Yes. Control joints should be put in the concrete to provide a place for stress relief (read 'cracking'). Control joints should be 2 to 3 times (in feet) the thickness of the slab in inches. i.e. a 4 slab should have control joints every 8 to 12 feet. Control joints should be Â¼ the thickness of the slab. Thus a 4 sidewalk should have 1 deep control joints.
