Deformations, strain capacity and cracking of concrete in plastic and early hardening phases

Field observation reveals that cracking of free concrete surfaces in the period before and during setting, may appear at two basically different ages: Minutes after surface finishing, here called “plastic phase” and at some hours after surface finishing, here called “early hardening phase”.
