effective shrinkage
1.Using the time dependent Finite Element Method of Age-Adjusted Effective Modulus, the author calculates the deflection which is induced by shrinkage and creep in a Continuous rigid frame bridge of urban rail transit, and further compares with the site test result, the conclusion is very meaningful.
3.This paper studies the theoretical disadvantages of the Effective Modulus Method (EMM) for calculating the restraining stress of the walls restrained by basement, especially those adopting the Shrinkage Compensation Concrete (SCC). To avoid these disadvantages, a new Time-Tracing Method (TIM) is proposed, and base on its analysis results, the effectiveness of the SCC for the cracking control of the walls is revisited.
