Sentence examples for extent of cracking from inspiring English sources
Using an activator that reduced the amount of heat generated from the hydration of slag caused the slag to develop high early strength and led to the formation of hydration products that contain relatively small amounts of cracking-prone components, which effectively reduced the extent of cracking of the HS.
However, upper bound crack growth properties are required to accurately predict the actual extent of cracking.
This paper presents a spatial time-dependent reliability analysis to predict the likelihood and extent of cracking for reinforced concrete structures exposed to chloride ion attack.
Watershed models that address soil cracking phenomena generally use a relationship between shrinkage and current soil water content to estimate the extent of cracking.
