1.3. Boundary conditions and loads

In this test, a drying field that is homogeneous and constant is created in the structure.

The mechanical load corresponds to shear in plane \(\mathrm{xz}\); its intensity is \(\mathrm{10 }[\mathrm{MPa}]\). The load is applied in \(\mathrm{1s}\) and is maintained constant for 750 days.

1.4. Initial conditions

The start of the calculation is assumed to be the instant —1. At this moment there is no drying field or mechanical stress.

At instant 0, a drying field corresponding to \(\text{100 \%}\) of humidity is applied.
