Deformation properties and Crack Sensitivity in young concrete. NOR-CRACK, a 4-year Norwegian project

Practical use of new durable and high strength concrete qualities have shown increased proneness to cracking during the hardening phase. This has great economical concequences, and the goal of the project is to further improve the basic understanding of early age cracking problems and to develop tools (IT-based, guidelines, simplified methods) for planning and control in order to minimize the problem.
