Features: This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the types and causes of cracks in concrete structures. It discusses the influencing factors and preventive measures for shrinkage cracks in concrete structures from five aspects: material composition, structural design, construction and maintenance, monitoring and diagnosis, and repair and maintenance. The book focuses on a detailed analysis of the impact of concrete material composition and mix proportion on shrinkage cracks, establishes methods for selecting crack-resistant concrete materials and optimizing mix proportion design, and proposes a comprehensive control guide for cracks in concrete structures. Additionally, it provides an in-depth introduction to online monitoring and diagnostic methods for cracks in concrete structures, as well as methods for repairing and treating cracks. The book is systematic and comprehensive, featuring specific engineering case studies to reflect the latest advancements in the research and prevention of cracks in structural concrete. It serves as practical guidance for technical personnel engaged in architectural engineering design, construction, quality monitoring, supervision, and concrete material production, as well as a teaching reference for faculty and students in civil engineering-related fields at universities.
