1.

( Loss in compressive strength of concrete due to

cessation of hydration of cement components)

(maximum
compressive strength attained On continuous curing)

(Little decrease in
compressive strength On
reduction of curing days)

( ) (very less
compressive strength on no curing)

2.

I. (loss of moisture)

II. (restraint in
shrinkage movement)

,
I (Thin members
with a large surface area such as slabs
are particularly vulnerable to shrinkage
cracks.)

(Concrete near to
corners and edges is particularly prone to cracking as loss of moisture takes
place from the adjacent surfaces. The cracks are usually approx. at right angles
to the direction of restraint.)

3.

(permeable concrete),

(more exposure to environment)
