Detailed Webinar Instructions
Description
Shrinkage-compensating concrete is designed to minimize drying-shrinkage cracking in construction. Its characteristics closely resemble those of portland-cement concrete, but its materials, proportions, placement, and curing are specifically adjusted to ensure that expansion offsets subsequent drying shrinkage. This webinar will cover the criteria and best practices necessary to develop expansive strain in concrete, or shrinkage-compensating concrete. In addition to explaining basic principles, the session will provide methods, structural design details, and practical applications of shrinkage-compensating concrete.
