Discrete modeling of ultra-high-performance concrete with application to projectile penetration (2014, background): “This process can be counter productive if not balanced, since the high rates of hydration often results in autogeneous shrinkage and can lead to premature cracking during the setting phase [4].”
Hygro-thermo-chemical modeling of high performance concrete. I: Theory (2009, background): “Among others, Wittmann [2] calculated the moisture profiles in high strength concrete by adding a sink term in the diffusion equation to account for endogenous drying.”
Influence of microcracking on water absorption and sorptivity of ECC (2009, background): “In reality, however, reinforced concrete members crack due to both applied structural loading, shrinkage, chemical attack and thermal deformations, which are practically inevitable and often anticipated in restrained conditions [8, 9 ]. The durability of concrete structures is intimately related to”
Fracture behaviour of heat cured fly ash based geopolymer concrete (2013, background): “Fracture energy of a composite material depends on the deviation of the crack path from an idealized crack plane [14,15].”
Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC) Material, Structural, and Durability Performance (2008, unknown): “In reality, however, reinforced concrete members crack due to applied structural loads, shrinkage, chemical attack and thermal deformations, which are practically inevitable and often anticipated in restrained conditions (Mihashi and De Leite, 2004; Wittmann, 2002).”
Coupled effects of crack width, slag content, and conditioning alkalinity on autogenous healing of engineered cementitious composites (2016, background): “Reinforced concrete members could crack under structural loading, but more often due to constrained shrinkage/thermal deformations, which are practically inevitable [2].”
The influence of coarse aggregate size and volume on the fracture behavior and brittleness of self-compacting concrete (2014, result): “Comparison of the experimental results versus predicted values from the proposed relation for GF in the NVC, HPC and SCC [16,26,28,44,45,46,47,50,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59].”
