Abstract :
The research have studied the effects of curing conditions on early cracking in the concrete slab. It showed that in dry conditions, making use of superplasticizer during the process of pouring would make the slab creaking easily provided that you didn´t take timely conservation measures. On the contrary, the early shrinkage cracks significantly reduced or even disappear in the specimen that had been cured for 8h after initial setting provided that spray or sealed conservation measures were taken.
