Abstract: Despite many successes in concrete creep studies, its effect on the mechanical behavior of concrete members is far from a thorough case-specific understanding. For the members that have been subjected to a long-term load, ...

Abstract: The thermal stress and tensile creep of early-age concrete that occur during the exothermic chemical reactions between water and cement may result in harmful cracks. Heat of hydration and creep of early-age concrete are ...

Abstract: The quantification of damping in a structure is of significant interest in structural dynamics. At present, there is still no clear consensus on how damping issues are resolved. Although the Rayleigh damping model, which ...

Abstract: The diffusion of chloride ions is one of the main factors that arouses steel corrosion in concrete. In this paper, a two-dimension cellular automaton (CA) model was developed to simulate the diffusion process of chloride ...
