Drying shrinkage

Please find below a selection of relevant articles from AEC companies and organizations for drying shrinkage. CTS Cement — Komponent — FAQs — For Non-Shrink and Low Shrinkage Concrete ...from ordinary concrete? A: When regular portland cement concrete hardens and begins to dry out, a negative volume change occurs in the total mass. This process is called drying shrinkage. Shrinkage of concrete sets up internal tensile stresses, and if these stresses exceed the tensile strength of the concrete, cracking, called drying shrinkage cracks occur. See #1. Products & Services - PVA Structural Fibers ...fibers are more effective than other fibers in reducing long-term drying cracking. Relatively low dosages of PVA fibers can effectively reduce many types of cracking, including drying shrinkage, settlement and fatigue-related cracks. PVA vs. Steel & AR Glass Fiber Reinforcement Like steel and alkali-resistant glass, they are stiffer than... See #2. R.I. Lampus Company: Construction Products Both the lunch and the learn are on us!
