Differential Drying Shrinkage and Warping in Concrete Pavements

Description:
Tasked with writing a literature review/research paper regarding what is currently known about both differential drying shrinkage and warping in concrete pavements. The various short term processes that cause it such as material composition (water/cement ratio, admixtures, curing process) along with the long term causes (ambient relative humidity, evaporation, wind, temperature, etc.) The distinct difference between what parts of the shrinkage are reversible and what part isn"t should be covered. Additionally I"d like to go into some minor detail regarding the various models availible to predict the shrinkage affects. Figures and tables should be used when necessary. There isn"t a strict number of pages or sources though I"d like 15-20 pages including any figures and tables and sufficient sources for well rounded research into the topic.
