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: This paper shows how the mechanics of elastic composite materials can be adapted to predict the basic creep of concrete with aging due to hydration. The prediction is made on the basis of the given composition of concrete, ...

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 ...
