Concrete shrinking can be caused by temperatures decreasing and moisture loss. These two things also cause curling and warping of concrete. Concrete expands and contracts with the change in temperature. Because of this concrete shrinkage, the concrete can become uneven and crack. This can cause a lot of problems in and around your home. Not only can it become a tripping hazard for you and your family, but it is also unsightly.
Concrete has a relatively high compressive strength, but significantly lower tensile strength and is reinforced with materials that are strong in tension. The elasticity of concrete is relatively constant at low stress levels. The elasticity starts decreasing at higher stress levels. As concrete matures, it starts to shrink.
