Abstract
It is the aim of the present ph.d.-project to develop methods for
calculation as well as measurements of eigenstresses in concrete
due to (autogenous) shrinkage of cement paste. The calculations
will be carried out with the use of experimentally determined
material properties such as autogenous shrinkage, modulus of
elasticity, creep/relaxation etc. A special "stress-sensor" will
be developed to measure the hydrostatic pressure inside a
spherical aggregate when surrounded by cement paste that undergoes
shrinkage.
