Time-Dependent Space-Averaged Constitutive Modeling of Cracked Reinforced Concrete Subjected to Shrinkage and Sustained Loads

Abstract

Transient nonlinear analysis is proposed as a way of predicting the long-term deformation of cracked reinforced concrete and a mechanistic creep constitutive model for post-cracking tension-stiffness is presented. The effect of drying shrinkage is integrated into the predictive scheme using the thermo-hydro physics of porous media, and a simple equivalent method of analysis is discussed for the practical performance assessment of structural concrete. Careful verification of the model is carried out with respect to the creep deflection of RC beams and slabs subjected to multi-axial flexure. Three-dimensional fiber and plate & shell elements are used for the space discretization of the analysis domain.
