2. 1. Plastic Shrinkage Cracking in Concrete

   Author : Faez Sayahi; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Structural Engineering; Konstruktionsteknik;

   Abstract : Early-age (up to 24 hours after casting) cracking may become problematic in any concrete structure. It can damage the aesthetics of the concrete member and decrease the durability and serviceability by facilitating the ingress of harmful material. READ MORE

4. 2. Plastic Shrinkage Cracking In Concrete : Mitigation and Modelling

   Author : Faez Sayahi; Mats Emborg; Andrzej Cwirzen; Hans Hedlund; Pietro Lura; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Structural Engineering; Konstruktionsteknik;

   Abstract : Early-age (up to 24 hours after casting) cracking may become problematic in any concrete structure. It can have a negative influence on the aesthetics of the concrete structure, as well as decreasing the durability and serviceability by facilitating the ingress of harmful materials into the concrete bulk.

5. 3. A Study on the Mechanism of Plastic Shrinkage of Cement-Based Materials

   Author : Adrian Radocea; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; capillary pressure; shrinkage; climatic conditions; cement;

   Abstract : The work presented in this thesis has been concentrated on describing the mechanism of plastic shrinkage and on developing a method of calculating the progress of plastic shrinkage. The origin of plastic shrinkage and plastic shrinkage induced cracks has been investigated by many researchers during the last four decades, but no generally accepted theory could be found in the literature.

6. 4. Early age properties of self-compacting concrete - Effects of fine aggregate and limestone filler

   Author : Oskar Esping; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; pore pressure; autogenous deformation; self-compacting concrete; plastic shrinkage; BET; specific surface area; rheology; limestone filler;

   Abstract : Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is a sensitive mix, strongly dependent on the composition and the characteristics of its constituents. It has to possess the incompatible properties of high flowability together with high segregation resistance, a balance made possible by the dispersing effect of water-reducing admixture combined with cohesiveness produced by a high concentration of fine particles.

7. 5. Structural integrity of prestressed nuclear reactor containments

   Author : Patrick Anderson; Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; steel liner; reliability; relaxation; shrinkage; creep; loss of prestress; tendon; Nuclear; containment; design pressure; Construction technology; Anläggningsteknik;

   Abstract : A nuclear power plant is provided with an extensive defense intended to prevent radioactive discharge in case of a reactor accident. This defense is built up of several independent safety barriers, where the reactor containment constitutes the last barrier to the environment. READ MORE
