Some expand when wet and shrink when dry, which can cause movement under your foundation. This shifting can create stress on the concrete floor, leading to cracks. Tree roots, heavy construction ...

If joints can open freely, tensile stresses caused by restrained dry and thermal concrete shrinkage are relieved. Relieving shrinkage stresses reduces the risk of random cracking. Therefore ...

Early-entry dry-cut saws allow the installation of the contraction joints before the concrete starts to cool and before shrinkage stresses become too large or exceed the tensile capacity of the ...
