Humidity change in concrete is the leading cause of concrete shrinkage. Moreover, the
moisture diffusion coefficient of concrete is an essential parameter for assessing and …

The solidification theory has been accepted as a thermodynamically sound way to describe
creep reduction due to deposition of hydrated material in the pores of concrete. The concept …

The concrete internal relative humidity (RH) is the direct evidence of internal curing effect,
controlling concrete shrinkage deformation and also affecting the strength development …

In modern concretes, the autogenous shrinkage, ie, the shrinkage of sealed specimens, is
much more important than it is in traditional concretes. It dominates the shrinkage of thick …

Efficient and accurate cement hydration simulation is an important issue for predicting and
analyzing concrete's performance evolution. A large number of models have been proposed …

Although some important advances in the modeling of sorption and hygrothermal
deformations of nanoporous materials such as hydrated cement paste, shale, coal, and …

A physically based model for auotgenous shrinkage and swelling of portland cement paste
is necessary for computation of long-time hydgrothermal effects in concrete structures. The …

Abstract Effect of internal curing on shrinkage of calcium sulfoaluminate cement (CSA)
concrete in both sealed condition and dry/wet cycles was studied using four CSA concretes …

The drying of cement-based materials, naturally occurring in most civil engineering contexts,
affects their thermal, hydraulic and mechanical properties and is a leading contributor to the …

The article provides research of the stress-strain state of a reinforced concrete floor slab
under fire conditions according to refined method. The finite element model of the slab is …
