Finite element procedures combined with microstructure development modeling are
integrated to quantitatively predict the viscoelastic/viscoplastic relaxation of cement paste …

In this study, a microstructure-based homogenization method is proposed for the creep
behavior of cement paste at early age. With the aid of hydration model, the evolution of …

The viscoelastic behavior of a concrete under dynamic and quasi-static loadings is studied.
The viscoelastic behavior of the concrete under dynamic conditions is investigated by a …

A computational model has been developed that combines finite element methods with
microstructure development simulations to quantitatively predict the viscoelastic/viscoplastic …

The creep and relaxation of cement paste caused by dissolving solid hydration products is
evaluated in this work. According to the second law of thermodynamics, dissolution or …

Ce travail a pour but d'apporter des éléments de connaissance sur le comportement des
enceintes de confinement des centrales nucléaires françaises. L'aptitude au confinement de …

The viscoelastic/viscoplastic behavior of cement paste may occur due to intrinsic calcium
silicate hydrate (CSH) viscoelasticity/viscoplasticity and cement grain dissolution during the …

Multiphasic composites with time-evolving, transient microstructures exhibit time-dependent
behavior under load. One mechanism leading to this behavior is the dissolution of load …

Creep of concrete affects the safety and serviceability of reinforced and prestressed concrete
structures and structural elements. In the present study, a semi-empirical model is proposed …

Many materials are multiphasic, with an evolving, transient microstructure. If load-bearing
phases within such a material dissolve while the material is under load, the stress being …
