3D numerical simulation of the cracking behaviour of a RC one-way slab under the combined effect of thermal, shrinkage and external loads

Cracking control of reinforced concrete (RC) is of paramount importance to ensure a proper service behaviour on RC structures, during their lifespan, without excessive maintenance costs. Current design codes and recommendations for RC structures provide methodologies for reinforcement design on elem...
