What is it about?
This paper explains the cracking potential of cement-based materials especially that of repair materials. Repair materials are usually applied as thin coatings or overlays and undergo severe shrinkage that leads to cracking.

Why is it important?
Shrinkage cracking can lead to premature deterioration of the material hence reducing serviceable life of the structures.
