Plastic settlement cracks

Cracks caused when the settlement of fresh concrete


is restrained by reinforcement or formwork. Plastic
settlement cracks can form in young concrete, within
the first few hours after placing. As water moves
upward through the mixture, the denser constituents
move downward. This downward movement may be
obstructed by the top layer of reinforcement or by the
shuttering.
