Abstract: Predicting delayed strains in concrete proves to be critical to a large number of prestressed concrete structures. These delayed strains include drying shrinkage, basic, and drying creep strains essentially. In this paper, ...

Abstract: This paper presents a macroscopic material model for calcium leaching in concrete, for the quantitative assessment, in time and space, of the aging kinetics and load bearing capacity of concrete structures subjected to ...

Abstract: Alkali-silica reaction (ASR) is a concrete pathology due to chemical reactions involving reactive silica from reactive aggregates and the inner solution of concrete. Main effects are swelling, cracking, and reduction in ...
