Identification of early-age concrete temperatures and strains : monitoring and numerical simulation

Concrete at early-ages experiences thermal deformations due to the heat generation caused by the cement hydration reactions. These deformations may lead to cracking of concrete, for which the use of numerical models in order to foresee and prevent this problem is of crucial importance. However, thes...
