Abstrakt: In spite of our understanding and knowledge of the properties of concrete masonry as a material, shrinkage continues to be a problem affecting the performance of concrete masonry walls. A case study is presented which suggests that the behavior of concrete masonry walls subjected to the shrinkage of units is not completely understood. The paper discusses causes in material standards, design specifications, manufacture and construction practice which may contribute to shrinkage cracking of concrete masonry walls.
