Microstructural effects in the simulation of creep of concrete

Journal Article Giorla, Alain B., E-mail: giorlaab@ornl.gov ; Dunant, Cyrille F., E-mail: cfd30@cam.ac.uk - Cement and Concrete Research

The influence of the microstructure on the visco-elastic properties of concrete is investigated using finite element simulations at the meso-scale. We first derive a constitutive law for the creep of the cement paste which accounts for both recoverable and permanent deformations, as well as the influence of temperature and internal relative humidity. The model is calibrated on a set of experiments at the cement paste scale, and then validated after upscaling to the concrete scale. The model is then applied to study the influence of the microstructure on the macroscopic creep of concrete. We show that materials with finer particlesmore »« less

A creep-damage model for mesoscale simulations of concrete expansion-degradation phenomena

Conference Giorla, Alain B ; Le Pape, Yann

Long-term performance of aging concrete in nuclear power plants (NPPs) requires a careful examination of the physical phenomena taking place in the material. Concrete under high neutron irradiation is subjected to large irreversible deformations as well as mechanical damage, caused by a swelling of the aggregates. However, these results, generally obtained in accelerated conditions in test reactors, cannot be directly applied to NPP irradiated structures, i.e., the biological shield, operating conditions due to difference in time scale and environmental conditions (temperature, humidity). Mesoscale numerical simulations are performed to separate the underlying mechanisms and their interactions. The cement paste creep-damage modelmore »« less

Investigation of the effect of aggregates' morphology on concrete creep properties by numerical simulations

Journal Article Lavergne, F. ; Sab, K., E-mail: karam.sab@enpc.fr ; Sanahuja, J. ; ... - Cement and Concrete Research

Prestress losses due to creep of concrete is a matter of interest for long-term operations of nuclear power plants containment buildings. Experimental studies by Granger (1995) have shown that concretes with similar formulations have different creep behaviors. The aim of this paper is to numerically investigate the effect of size distribution and shape of elastic inclusions on the long-term creep of concrete. Several microstructures with prescribed size distribution and spherical or polyhedral shape of inclusions are generated. By using the 3D numerical homogenization procedure for viscoelastic microstructures proposed by Šmilauer and Bažant (2010), it is shown that the size distributionmore »« less

Effect of Impact and Penetration on Microstructural Evolution of High-performance Concretes

Journal Article Ren, Fei ; Mattus, Catherine H ; Wang, Jy-An John ; ... - Cement and Concrete Composites

Due to the increased concern of public safety in recent years, blast resistance of infrastructures has become an emerging research focus in the cement and concrete industry. Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC) with fiber reinforcement usually possesses compressive strengths greater than 200 MPa, which makes them promising candidates for blast-resistant building materials. In the current project, two UHPC materials, Ductal and ERDC-M, were subject to projectile penetration testing. The microstructural evolution due to projectile impact was examined via scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Possible phase changes were observed in the impact volume, which was likely a result of themore »« less
