Research progress of shrinkage and shrinkage-induced cracking of cement-based materials

As a kind of construction materials,cement-based materials are widely used in the civil engineering,but the shrinkage and shrinkage-induced crack of the cement-based materials always are the important adverse factors in the engineering world.Reviewed the cracking analyzed the sensitive factors that affect the cracking,which included water-binder ratio,different mineral admixtures and inner relative humidity.As a result,it was of great significance in enhancing the durability of cement-based materials.
