In this paper, a hydro-mechanical model, accounting for the full coupling of drying, shrinkage, creep and cracking is presented. In this model, a new basic creep constitutive law, based on microscopic considerations of the role of water, is elaborated. Further, the existing model for drying creep of Bažant and Chern is improved by the introduction of a second material parameter which accounts for...
A theoretical model is developed for transient water pressure variations along a tensile seismic concrete crack with known crack wall motion history. Experimental tests are performed to validate the proposed model. Experimental and numerical results show that water can penetrate into new seismic cracks making them partially saturated over a length Lsat. The magnitude of Lsat and the total water uplift...
