1. C modeling#

1.1. Characteristics of modeling#

  • Tested behavior: Burgerageiing.mfront. Burger concrete creep law with aging (cf. [R7.01.35]).

  • Modeling: creep test on an element (material point). Comparison to Kommendant tests for two clean creep tests:

  • concrete filled at 28 days, with a temperature of 20°C,

  • concrete filled at 90 days, with a temperature of 30°C,

  • Material properties:

Concrete loaded at 90 days: only the Ea_R coefficient is modified because the reference temperature is different from the test temperature.
