“Shrinkage-compensating Concrete Is An Expansive “Shrinkage-compensating Concrete Is An Expansive Cement Concrete Which Is Used To Minimize Cracking Cement Concrete Which Is Used To Minimize Cracking Caused By Drying Shrinkage In Concrete Slabs, Caused By Drying Shrinkage In Concrete Slabs, Pavements, And Structures.”Pavements, And Structures.” “Shrinkage-compensating Cement Is Constituted And “Shrinkage-compensating Cement Is Constituted And Proportioned Such That The Concrete Will Increase In Proportioned Such That The Concrete Will Increase In Volume After Setting And During Hardening. When Volume After Setting And During Hardening. When Properly Restrained By Reinforcement, Expansion Will Properly Restrained By Reinforcement, Expansion Will Induce Tension In The Reinforcement And Compression In Induce Tension In The Reinforcement And Compression In The Concrete. On Subsequent Drying, The Shrinkage So The Concrete. On Subsequent Drying, The Shrinkage So Produced, Instead Of Causing A Tensile Stress To Develop Produced, Instead Of Causing A Tensile Stress To Develop Which Might Result In Cracking, Merely Reduces Or Which Might Result In Cracking, Merely Reduces Or Relieves The Expansive Strains Caused By The Initial Relieves The Expansive Strains Caused By The Initial Expansion.” Expansion.”
