Nonlinear modelling of shrinkage-induced deformations on RC retaining walls

Crack control is a main issue for design, due to its determinant role in the durability and aesthetics of concrete structures. The phenomenon of cracking can be controlled by limiting the crack width through a proper quantification and distribution of the reinforcement. However, reinforcement design...
