Calculation of shrinkage stress in concrete structures with impact of internal curing

This paper presents recent advances in the calculation of shrinkage stress in concrete structures, especially focus on the effect of internal curing. In the modeling, an integrative model for autogenous and drying shrinkage predictions of concrete under drying environments is introduced first. Second, a model taking both cement hydration and moisture diffusion into account synchronously is used to calculate the distribution of internal relative...
