SHRINKAGE COMPENSATING CONCRETE

A component is added to a standard concrete mix by the ready mix supplier or contractor, to provide a Type G SCC in accordance with ACI 223. Green Umbrella Shrinkage Compensation achieves shrinkage compensation through the formation of calcium hydroxide platelets within the concrete matrix... SCC made with Green Umbrella GreenCanvas allows the design engineer and the contractor to eliminate many of the contraction joints associated with regular concrete design and construction. Expansion joints between adjacent placements can often be eliminated by larger monolithic designs. Expansion joints placed for thermal expansion of linear elements are determined by thermal considerations that are not changed by the use of SCC... GreenCanvas Expansive Component for Sustainable Concrete - producing what many thought impossible, reducing or eliminating concrete curl, simplifying joint layout through reduction/elimination of control joints, and eliminating dry shrinkage cracking.
