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.

1. Define Shrinkage-Compensating Concrete and its key properties.
2. Evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of using Shrinkage-Compensating Concrete in various applications.
3. Explain how Shrinkage-Compensating Concrete behaves under restraint conditions, such as boundary constraints or reinforcement.
4. Identify design details and practical applications for Shrinkage-Compensating Concrete in construction projects.
