Abstract: This paper presents a numerical algorithm for the microprestress-solidification theory developed in a companion paper and verifies this theory by comparisons with typical test data from the literature. A model for cracking ...

Abstract: Couplings between creep of hardened concrete and temperature/water effects are well-known. Both the level and the gradients in time of temperature or water content influence the creep properties. In early age concrete the ...

Abstract: A new physical theory and constitutive model for the effects of long-term aging and drying on concrete creep are proposed. The previously proposed solidification theory, in which the aging is explained and modeled by the ...
