This paper summarizes suitable material models for creep and damage of concrete which are coupled with heat and moisture transfer. The fully coupled approach or the staggered coupling is assumed. Governing equations are spatially dis-cretized by the finite element method and the temporal discretization is done by the generalized trapezoidal method. Systems of non-linear algebraic equations are solved by the Newton method. Development of an efficient and extensible computer code based on the C++ programming language is described. Finally, successful analyses of two real engineering problems are described.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
