Abstract

The study aims to investigate the mechanism of early-age cracks in different massive concrete structures (i.e. tunnels, bridge foundations and underground parking garages), with the objective of answering the following three specific questions:
1)
How does the parameters of concrete proportion mix (e.g. w/c ratio, cementitious materials, aggregates, etc.) influence the formation of autogenous shrinkage and creep, especially at early age with the focus on the first 24 h?
 
2)
How to build theoretical and numerical model for the process of early-age crack formation and then quantify the damage status of concrete materials?
 
3)
How to link the results derived from material scale to structural scale, and provide useful reference for practical engineering projects?
 
To study the basic mechanism a research program is performed in which different mixes are tested in a Temperature and Stress Testing Machine (TSTM). Furthermore autogenous shrinkage is measured in different ways. Modeling with a FEM-tool is used to predict the risk of early age cracking. The results indicate that the combined shrinkage (or expansion and the relaxation (or creep) during the first hours of hydration have a huge influence on the stresses that develop later and with that are important to determine the risk of cracking in massive concrete structures. Since investigating the stresses that built up in the first hours after casting in such a TSTM is rather difficult, we designed a new version of the TSTM machine in which dog bone specimens are tested vertically in a Universal Testing Machine (Instron).
