Vertical cracking of reinforced concrete cylindrical tank wall at early age state
Abstract
Ten cylindrical reinforced concrete tanks realized last year in Cracow are subject of this paper. Due to the construction and technology solution which has been applied it was necessary to realize construction joints in vertical and horizontal direction as well as two expansion joints. In spite of such solution, many vertical cracks on some wall segments under construction have been found. Based on the preliminary analysis it was stated the reasons of early age concrete cracking.
