Characterization of Creep and Crack Growth Interactions in the Fracture Behaviour of Concrete

Emmanuel Denarié

Creep and crack growth govern the long-term deformability of concrete and thus its service behavior and its durability. The mechanisms involved in the couplings between these effects are not yet clearly identified. The aim of this research was to investiga ...
