Early Age Concrete Thermal and Creep effects: Relevance to Anchorage Zones of Post-tensioned Members
Highly concentrated stresses are imposed on maturing concrete slab local anchorage zones when post-tensioning (PT) load is applied. The prime nonlinear phenomena of the concrete while hydrating are the evolution of stiffness, the thermal strains, the visco-elastic nature of the concrete and crackin...
