eather conditions such as high wind, hot temperatures or direct sunlight.

Be sure to complete this

step after the concrete has set in order to assure the coverings do not disturb or leave unwanted
impressions on the new concrete.

Further, misting the concrete with water a few times a day will help to reduce the rate of
evaporation from the surface. It is critical to continue this process for at least the first three days
of curing.

Settlement

Settlement cracks occur when the ground under the concrete moves. This can be the result of
poorly compacted soil, the wrong kind of soil (sand), water erosion or tree roots.

If you have poorly compacted soil, dig it out and replace it with crushed stone before placing the
concrete. If you have a situation where water drains across the sidewalk, backfill first with
several inches of gravel. Also, avoid planting eather conditions such as high wind, hot
temperatures or direct sunlight. Be sure to complete this step after the concrete has set in order to
assure the coverings do not disturb or leave unwanted impressions on the new concrete.

Settlement cracks occur when the ground under the concrete moves. This can be the result of

If you have poorly compacted soil, dig it out and replace it with crushed stone before placing the
concrete. If you have a situation where water drains across the sidewalk, backfill first with
several inches of gravel. Also, avoid planting trees next to a concrete sidewalk to prevent roots
from growing underneath and cracking the concrete.

Drying Shrinkage

Concrete mixtures require water for proper placement and workability. As excess water
evaporates from the concrete slab during the curing process, there is a reduction in volume or
shrinkage that can occur.

When shrinkage is impeded or blocked — by supporting soils, granular fill, adjoining structures
or reinforcement within the concrete — tensile stresses develop within the concrete slab. As a
result, these stresses act against the weakest points of the concrete material and cause it to crack.

To help control random cracking caused by shrinkage, control joints should be placed between
concrete slabs. These joints create a weak point in the concrete and help guide where cracks will
occur, ensuring they happen in a straight versus jagged line for better overall aesthetics

For exterior work on a 4-inch-thick slab, the length and width of the new concrete slab should
not exceed 8 to 12 feet in any direction without placement of control joints.
