Extended Joints for Slabs on Grade
PREVent-C® is one of the only admixtures that can provide volume stability to concrete, allowing for extended joints for slabs on grade.
Slabs on grade can present challenges with shrinkage, but often it is curling caused by shrinkage that presents the biggest challenge.
Concrete is known to be prone to cracking, especially due to drying and autogeneous shrinkage, leading to costly construction mitigation efforts and repairs of slabs and structures. However, our innovative magnesia-based technology, when used as an additive to concrete, has shown up to 90% shrinkage crack reduction across many applications. Its shrinkage reduction properties help to prevent cracking or curling, therefore minimizing water and salt infiltration, reducing required maintenance and repairs, and improving overall concrete durability.
PREVent-C® is one of the only admixtures that can provide volume stability to concrete, allowing for extended joints for slabs on grade.
Minimizing cracking from the start can not only reduce costs but extend the service life of a bridge deck significantly.
