Abstract:

WHY SAW CUT? Heat from the cement hydration raises the temperature of concrete. Concrete shrinks with cooling/drying. Cracking results when internal stresses develop. Sawing relieves stresses by creating a plane of weakness where a crack will form. Straight, neat cut eases sealing and maintenance activities and enhances aesthetics. Sawing ensures that cracks are formed in the specified location where load transfer dowels are placed.
