FAQ
Q: Why does concrete crack?
A: Concrete, like all other materials, will slightly change in volume when it dries. In typical concrete this is
about 1/16 of an inch in 10 feet. The reason that contractors put joints in concrete pavements and floors is
to allow the concrete to crack in a neat, straight line at the joint when the volume of the concrete changes
due to shrinkage.
