Craing is the development of a network of fine random cracks or fissures on the surface of concrete or mortar caused by shrinkage of the surface layer. These cracks are rarely more than 18 inch 3 mm deep and are more noticeable on steel-troweled surfaces

Use moderate slump 3-5 inches concrete with reduced bleeding characteristics. 2. Follow recommended practices and timing based on concrete setting characteristics
What is Craing Crae cracks on concrete is when the surface of concrete develops a lot of fine cracks. Sometimes called map-cracking or alligator cracking craing of concrete is a result of conditions and curing methods at the point the concrete is laid or even the way it is finished
2020-5-12Craing. Diagnosis Random fine cracking on the surface resembling cracked mud on a dried up pond but in a smaller pattern. Prevention Any concrete or masonry surface can be subject to craing. It can result from tension developed at the surface of the concrete formed during curing that is greater than that developed below the surface
Craing may occur early in the life of the member but may not be noticed until the cracks are accentuated by dirt deposition. Craing can occur both on exposed surfaces and on surfaces in contact with formwork. It occurs either where there is a change in properties close to the surface or where there is a high moisture content gradient

Concrete contractors can minimie or prevent crae cracks by starting to cure as soon as possible after final finishing especially on a hard-troweled floor. Moist curing is best although a spray-on monomolecular curing compound also can be effective. Using a drier stiffer mix can reduce craing
2018-1-8CRAZING OR CRAZE CRACKING Craing sometimes referred to as map cracking is a pattern of random fine cracks that occur at the surface of concrete at an early age when the unhardened surface mortar dries out faster than the concrete below. This drying at the surface causes the concrete at the surface to shrink at a faster rate
2020-5-17What is Craing of Concrete Typically a continuous hexagonal shape on the concrete surface that looks like a spider web is known as craing. It develops in the early stage of fresh concrete and is rarely more than 3 mm deep. These types of cracks are most likely visible after curing the area

Craing power trowelled concrete floor slabs. Product code CAS08. Brand Concrete Society. Surface craing of power trowelled slabs would appear to be a very common phenomenon very many possibly nearly all well-finished power trowelled slabs exhibit some craing after a few weeks or months. This document reviews the phenomenon and suggests
The Causes and Prevention of Cracking in Concrete. Map cracks may be relatively shallow in depth as in the case of craing or checking cracks or they may be deeper and throughout the matrix as in the case of cracking due to alkali-aggregate reactivity. Conversely the cracks may be isolated or individual in nature usually running in the
Craing cracks are very fine surface cracks that resemble spider webs or shattered glass. When the top of a concrete slab loses moisture too quickly craing cracks will likely appear. While unsightly craing cracks are not a structural concern
Craing refers to random intersecting cracks that extend below the surface of hardened concrete caused by shrinking of the drying surface. This happens because the surface is restrained by the concrete below it that isnt experiencing shrinkage. Crae cracks can be fine and barely visible to open and well defined. They do not affect the
If you have worked in an industrial or commercial building where an exposed concrete floor is the surface the business operates from then you have probably come across craing. It is an irregular pattern of fine cracks in the concrete which is known as surface craing. In fact they tend to be more visible when the floor gets wet as the very fine cracks trap moisture and dust. However
2020-5-14Craing cracks develop early in the concrete life. They usually can appear anywhere from the day after placement to the end of the first week. It is in this critical period as the concrete is just beginning to gain strength that the curing of the concrete is so important
Craing is the development of a network of fine random cracks or fissures on the surface of concrete or mortar caused by shrinkage of the surface layer. These cracks are rarely more than inch 3 mm deep and are more noticeable on steel-troweled surfaces
