Abstract: | To predict potential early-age cracking after concrete placing, a numerical simulation procedure has been completed based on a micromechanical model and empirical formulas on the property development of young concrete. The numerical model could account for the effects of hydration, moisture transport and creep. Environmental influences, such as removal of formworks, curing conditions and variations of surrounding temperature and relative humidity, have been investigated. In calculating stress field with age caused by these synthetic physical-mechanical processes, three-dimensional finite element and finite difference (3D-FE-FD) methods are combined together. |
