The intial defects induced at early age of concrete hardening:
thermal strains, shrinkage, creep and the associated risks of
cracking are one of the governing factors for long-term performance
of concrete. Proposing a simplified but intergrated scenario of
concrete life cycle simulation method, this book examines and
explains the vast amount of experimental observations related to
hardening concrete using a common set of physical laws. The methods
used focus on the three primary processes common to the development
of all cementitious materials: hydration, moisture transport and
structure formation. The authors describe an intergrated
theoretical and computational platform from which to examine and
assess the quality and structural durability of concrete at an
early age. This represents a new approach to the problem of
evaluating durability performance and presents a practical
methodology for researchers and practitioners in the field of
concrete technology. The proposed scheme may be used in practical
computational simulation methods, with the relevant software
available on the Internet, and is a valuable guide to those engaged
in concrete design.
