Abstract
Examines the causes, effects, risks and offers guidance on early-age thermal cracking in concrete. This phenomena happens when tensile strain is greater than the tensile strain capacity of concrete. Considers design aspects such as estimating the magnitude of crack-inducing strain, how to control the size of cracks using reinforcement and ways to minimise risk.
