Evaporation Rate Calculator

Plastic Shrinkage Cracking can occur when the surface of concrete dries before it gains enough tensile strength to resist cracking. The calculator below may be used to approximate the Evaporation Rate at the surface of a concrete placement.

This calculator relies on accurate data provided by the user and does not factor in other variables that can affect the speed at which a particular concrete mix will cure. As such, it should be used as a general guideline only.
