Control Joints Concrete shrinks as it cures, and that is why we induce cracking with control joints. Cracking can start while the slab is being poured. We tool our control joints into the slab during laying to” head off” this eventuality. As all concrete eventually cures, and in the process shrinks, it is foolish to think that there will never be cracking outside of the control joints. It is the responsibility of the layer to take all prudent precautions.Understanding the curing process and taking steps to control the rate of water loss will go a long way to increasing slab strength and reduce cracking. The layers can also greatly affect the strength of concrete by understanding the fundamentals of placing concrete.
