Thermal Cracking in Concrete at Early Ages: Proceedings of the International RILEM Symposium

by R. Springenschmid (Editor)

Overview

Restraint and intrinsic stresses in concrete at early ages are vitally important for concrete structures which must remain free of water-permeable cracks, such as water-retaining structures, tunnel linings, locks and dams. The development of hydration heat, stiffness and strength, also the degree of restraint and, especially for high-strength concr
