Computational Thermomechanical Modelling of Early-Age Silicate Composites

Multiphase Modelling of Thermomechanical Behaviour of Early-Age Silicate Composites

“…The original software is in progress, being still far from covering all above discussed micro-and macrostructural aspects. For illustration see (Vala et al, 2009) with numerical simulation of the time-variable thermomechanical behaviour of a massive concrete bridge structure in the Czech Republic (2.5 m thick slab has been formed in 5 layers in 5 time periods) during first 45 hours of its existence; the thermochemical evaluation of hydration heats corresponds to 9 dominant minerals included in the Portland cement. Another practical example (not published yet) refers to a massive concrete foundation, prepared for the vibrational compactor.…”
