One of the reasons concrete cracks is due to “thermal cracking” and this relates to the temperature development as concrete hydrates as well as temperature differences within a slab.

Adding pallet systems brought Mach Machine success and additional productivity. The shop has since furthered its automation goals while adding new capabilities.

The specified 35 degrees Fahrenheit maximum temperature difference between the center and the surface of the concrete minimizes the potential for thermal cracking. The temperature difference is ...

Ultra-high temperatures above 1200°C can be achieved using concentrated sunlight. Such heating can be used to drive thermal dissociation/cracking type chemical reactions where intermediate products ...
