Creep, shrinkage and durability of concrete and concrete structures
have been a traditional conference topic for almost fifty
years.
This volume contains contributions from presentations at CONCREEP
- 7, held September 12th - September 14th, 2005 at
Ecole Centrale de Nantes, France.
These papers cover the latest results and implementation strategies
of creep, shrinkage and durability mechanics research at the
interface of solid mechanics, materials science, experimental
mechanics, and computational mechanics of concrete-like materials,
and the related structural engineering problems.
Drying, shrinkage and creep.
Multiphase and multiscale approaches to creep, shrinkage and
durability.
Interaction between creep and fracture in concrete and
concrete-like
materials.
Size effect in concrete creep, shrinkage and durability.
Core properties of early-age concrete.
Constitutive modeling and computational approaches to creep,
shrinkage
and durability.
Deterioration kinetics of concrete structures in aggressive
environments.
Chemo-mechanics of concrete deterioration.
Monitoring the durability performances of concrete
structures.
Large-scale monitoring of creep, shrinkage and cracking of
structures.
Model-based monitoring of cracking and durability in early-age
structures.
Creep and shrinkage of new concrete products.
Shrinkage reducing methods and agents.
From creep, shrinkage and durability experiments to the design
of
concrete structures.
Creep, shrinkage and durability in structural mechanics,
standard
recommendations and codes.
Uncertainty and probabilistic modeling of creep and durability.
