New experimental insights for better parameter estimation and modelling of concrete at early ages

[Excerpt] The numerical simulation of concrete behaviour at early ages is fundamental for an adequate prediction/understanding of the service life behaviour of structures. Indeed, relevant initial stresses (or even cracking) can be induced due to volumetric changes that are particularly significant...
