Review on Selecting Raw Materials of Crack-Resistant Concrete

Abstract:

Modern concrete is more than simply a mixture of cement, water and aggregates; it also contains more and more mineral components, chemical admixtures, so the problem of concrete cracking will be more complicated. This paper mainly discussed the relationship between the character of various raw materials and the crack resistance of concrete. In order to improve the crack-resistant and durability of concrete, the technology for selecting raw materials of crack-resistant concrete is put forward.
