Features: The first part of this book is the Guidelines for Crack Control of Reinforced Concrete Structures, which begins by summarizing the scope of application of the Guidelines for Crack Control of Reinforced Concrete Structures, types of cracks in reinforced concrete structures, the causes of cracks, and corresponding crack control measures for different causes. Subsequently, it systematically proposes specific measures for crack control in terms of design, materials, mix proportions, and construction. The second part focuses on experimental research on the effects of admixtures and supplementary materials on concrete shrinkage and cracking, experimental research on concrete crack resistance performance, the design and testing of shrinkage-reducing and crack-preventive concrete mixtures, 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 is available for reference for engineering technicians in civil engineering management, design, construction, and supervision departments, as well as for researchers and teaching staff.
