Lecture

Thermal Shrinkage and Creep in Concrete

Description

This lecture covers the challenges of thermal shrinkage in concrete structures, which are prone to cracking due to temperature effects. Strategies to reduce thermal gradients include adjusting cement content, using low heat cement, and formwork insulation. Creep, a long-term deformation in concrete, is also discussed, emphasizing the importance of considering it in structural design.
