Occurring in both random and parallel patterns, plastic shrinkage cracks are discontinuous, relatively short and typically fairly shallow. Occasionally they can become full-depth cracks. Parallel cracks are typically spaced between a few inches to several feet apart and many times are oriented perpendicular to the prevailing wind direction. Cracks widths at the surface can be fairly wide (as much as 1/8 in.) but rapidly diminish with depth.

Understanding Surface Cracking Caused by Rapid Moisture Loss

Acknowledging the causes and implementing preventive measures can help contractors minimize plastic shrinkage cracking.
