Use of FEM to assess shrinkage cracking in restrained concrete structures

The present research has been motivated by the limitations of design codes in correctly estimating the necessary reinforcement for assuring adequate control of crack width associated to shrinkage. In view of such limitations, which frequently lead to overestimations of the necessary reinforcement, t...
