3 LETS TALK ABOUT SHRINKAGE Typical Concrete Shrinkage is about 0.06% But What Does That Mean? Shrinkage Shrinkage Probability (%) per 100 ft of Cracking Almost certain /4 Very Probable /8 Likely per Corps of Engineers /2 Probably Not Many /4 Probably Very Few Very Few, If Any Cracks (Also Joint Spacing Can be Expanded) 3
4 Typical Drying Shrinkage is.06% = 3/4 in Without Restraint /4 4
5 But there is Restraint 100 From Subgrade Friction, Reinforcement, Etc. Shrinkage + Restraint = Cracks /8 1/8 1/8 1/8 1/8 1/8 5
6 WHY DOES CONCRETE SHRINK SO DARN MUCH? Cracks and Joints 6
7 Cracks and Joints Differential drying causes curling Cracks (joints) form in V shape 7

11 COURSE AGGREGATES Coarse Aggregate Provide largest topsize coarse aggregate available that meets the following constraints. 1/5 of narrowest dimension between sides of forms. 1/3 of depth of slabs. 3/4 of minimum clear distance between reinforcing bars or between bars and forms, whichever is least. Minimum coarse aggregate of: 12 cubic feet for 1 ½ or larger topsize 11.5 cubic feet for topsize 1 ¼ or larger but less than 1 ½ 11 cubic feet for topsize 1 or larger but less than 1 ¼ 10.5 cubic feet for topsize less than 1. Combined aggregate gradation retained on each sieve below the top size and above the No % - 18% for large top size aggregates (1½ in.) or 8% - 22% for smaller top size aggregates (1 in. or ¾ in.) 11

15 Drying Shrinkage (Capillaries) Pore Water Evaporation 15
16 Capillary Pore Stress Stress = Cracks 16
17 Shrinkage Reducing Admixture (SRA) Reduce the surface tension of the meniscus So it doesn t pull in on the pore walls This reduces the internal tensile stresses And reduces the shrinking and cracking Shrinkage Reduction Cement Water Fine aggregate WR AEA SRA Example Coarse aggregate 517 lb/yd lb/yd lb/yd lb/yd 3 3 oz/cwt 1.65 oz/cwt 2% by cementitious Length change (%) Time (days) Reference SRA 1 SRA 2 17

28 0.04% Shrinkage Mix Per ASTM C 157 "Standard Test Method for Length Change of Hardened Hydraulic-Cement Mortar and Concrete". 1. Use specified coarse aggregate quantity, size, and gradation. 2. Use High-Range or Mid-Range Water-Reducing Admixture. 3. Use Shrinkage Reducing or Shrinkage Compensating Admixture. (If necessary) 4. Admixture manufacturer shall assist with the development of the mix. 0.02% Shrinkage Mix Per ASTM C 157 "Standard Test Method for Length Change of Hardened Hydraulic-Cement Mortar and Concrete". 1. Use specified coarse aggregate quantity, size, and gradation. 2. Use High-Range or Mid-Range Water-Reducing Admixture. 3. Use Shrinkage Reducing and/or Shrinkage Compensating Admixture. 4. Admixture manufacturer shall assist with the development of the mix. 28
29 0.0% Shrinkage Mix At 28 days per ASTM C 878 Standard Test Method for Restrained Expansion of Shrinkage Compensating Concrete. 1. Use specified coarse aggregate quantity, size, and gradation. 2. Use High-Range or Mid-Range Water-Reducing Admixture. 3. Use Shrinkage Compensating Admixture. (And possibly Shrinkage Reducing Admixture as well) 4. Admixture manufacturer shall assist with the development of the mix. Benefits of All Three Mixes Less cracking and curling The Engineer will need to decide which shrinkage is appropriate for their job. ASTM C878 29
30 EVAPORATION RETARDER AND CURING Evaporation Retarder and Curing Don t let the slab dry out!! For Shrinkage Reducing Admixtures and Standard Mixes: Evaporation retarder strongly suggested Curing compound may be used, but wet cure is preferable For Shrinkage-Compensating: Ties up more of the water Less bleed water Therefore: Evaporation retarder required Wet cure for 7 days required 30
31 WHEN WATER EVAPORATES OFF THE SURFACE TOO RAPIDLY, CRACKING USUALLY OCCURS. 31
32 THERE ARE FOUR FACTORS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO THIS: HIGH AMBIENT TEMPERATURES HIGH CONCRETE TEMPERATURES LOW HUMIDITY HIGH WINDS 32
33 Modest conditions: Air 70 o F Humidity 30 % Concrete 80 o F Wind 15 mph ACI Nomograph Anything over 0.2 lbs/ft 2 /hr is unacceptable CURING 33
34 ACI 302.1R-96 (Section 9.1) Purpose of Curing: After concrete placement and finishing of suitable concrete, curing is the single most important factor in achieving a high quality slab. The primary purpose of curing is to slow the loss of moisture from the slab. A longer period of moisture retention permits more complete hydration of the cement, resulting in greater strengths. Curing Membranes are Most Common Easy to apply Cost effective Protect concrete during construction 34
35 Moisture Retaining Fabric Effect On Surface Strength Of Concrete Quality Curing Membrane 100% 80% 60% 40% 20% 0% Good Curing Poor Curing No Cure ALL CONCRETE MUST BE CURED 35
36 Dusting REMOVABLE CURE 36
37 37
38 SUBGRADE 38
39 SUBGRADE Subgrade shall be properly compacted and shall have proper moisture content before slab placement. Typical spec language: A fully loaded ready mix truck shall not make a depression exceeding 1/2. JOINT LAYOUT 39
40 A few simple rules for Joint Layout: 1. Maximum joint spacing 2 ½ times thickness in feet (stated differently: 30 times the thickness) 2. Maximum length to width ratio 2 to 1 3. Joints at every re-entrant corner 4. No T s Note that 1. and 2. can vary if shrinkage compensating admixture is used. A few simple rules: 1. Maximum joint spacing 2 ½ times thickness in feet 2. Maximum length to width ratio 2 to 1 3. Joints at every re-entrant corner 4. No T s thick slab 40
41 A few simple rules: 1. Maximum joint spacing 2 ½ times thickness in feet 2. Maximum length to width ratio 2 to 1 3. Joints at every re-entrant corner 4. No T s thick slab 15 5 A few simple rules: 1. Maximum joint spacing 2 ½ times thickness in feet 2. Maximum length to width ratio 2 to 1 3. Joints at every re-entrant corner 4. No T s thick slab

44 TESTING Freedom Tower NYC 44
