Features: The first part of this book is the chapter provisions of the Guideline for Crack Control of Reinforced Concrete Structures. It first summarizes and introduces the scope of application of the Guideline for Crack Control of Reinforced Concrete Structures, the cracks in reinforced concrete structures, the types of cracks, the causes of cracks, and the corresponding crack control measures for different causes. Subsequently, it systematically proposes specific measures to control cracks in terms of design, materials, mix proportions, and construction. The second part is experimental research on the effects of admixtures and supplementary materials on concrete shrinkage and cracking, experimental research on the crack resistance performance of concrete, the design and testing of shrinkage-reducing and crack-resistant concrete mix proportions, and discussions on concrete shrinkage and cracking. The third part introduces different types of engineering cases, including those with visible cracks and those where control measures were taken without resulting in visible cracks. This book can be used as a reference for engineering technicians in civil engineering management, design, construction, and supervision departments, as well as for researchers and teaching staff.
