The purpose of this work is to study the influence that the construction stage has on the distribution of stresses and strains in solid slabs. To that purpose, a numerical simulation framework for thermo-mechanical analysis has been implemented and deployed, with due account to the evolution of concrete properties at early ages. This framework was then used to simulate the behaviour of several alternative...
