Summary of results
======================

The analytical solution is obtained with a precision of less than 0.02%, which makes it possible to be assured of the correct implementation of the Mazars model, including when temperature occurs. Let us recall the choices that were made for thermal fracturing coupling and which are verified here:

• linear thermal expansion,

• evolution of the damage only under the effect of elastic deformation and not thermal deformation,

• dependence of material parameters on the maximum temperature, i.e. the non-reversibility of changes in mechanical properties when concrete is heated and then cooled.
