A plastic extruded member is provided which will induce cracks in concrete and provide drainage for moisture entering the cracks. The member includes a base which sets upon the subgrade surface, with a pair of legs extending upwardly from the base. Arms extend laterally outwardly from each leg. As extruded, the legs are adjacent one another, and then spread apart as the concrete cures and shrinks, thereby inducing a substantially vertical crack in the concrete above the legs. The member includes a drain channel at the lower end of the legs. The gap between the legs which is created by the shrinking cured concrete provides a path from the crack to the drain channel for draining water entering the crack. |
