Objective

 

The drying shrinkage of the aggregate itself increases the shrinkage of concrete. In fact, the recent report indicates that the aggregate caused severe damage of an existing concrete structure through cracks in Japan. Based on such report, some design codes regulate the drying shrinkage of concrete, while the effect of shrinkage on the durability as well as mechanical behavior of concrete structures is not cleared. For solving the problem caused by the shrinkage of concrete, it is required to clear the relationship between shrinkage of concrete and performance of concrete structures, and establish the evaluation method of them.

Technical Committee on Shrinkage Effect Evaluation based on Durability Mechanics (JCI-TC-105A) has been established to study the shrinkage problem based on the durability mechanics. Here, the durability mechanics is a new concept re-defined as one of the academic disciplines of Engineering Mechanics for the systematic prediction and evaluation of time-dependent behavior of concrete materials and structures, by the Working Group on Durability Mechanics (WG3) within Technical Committee on Time Dependent Behavior of Cement-Based Materials (JCI-TC-061A).

Firstly, 1) the mechanism of shrinkage of concrete and its physical modeling and 2) shrinkage-induced stress and resultant cracking in concrete structures, as well as their effect on the structural and durability performance will be categorized and discussed. Then, 3) Modeling and coding of structural and durability performance of concrete structures based on the results of 1) and 2) will be discussed and make an proposal for the general design codes for effect of shrinkage.
