Aiming at the plastic shrinkage cracking of cement mortar, the constitutive equations of it in laboratory were established by testing plastic tensile strength, plastic capillary shrinkage stress and water loss evaporation rate of mortar under different composition parameters, environmental parameters, initial structural parameters and constraints condition parameters. And the early warning system of it was explored. The results showed that the seven-element constitutive equation of plain mortar and the nine-element constitutive equation of mortar with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fiber can effectively predict the plastic shrinkage cracking state of mortar outdoors. An early warning system for it was initially established.
