Creep and shrinkage of concrete : ウィキペディア英語版
Creep and shrinkage of concrete
Creep and shrinkage of concrete are two physical properties of concrete. The creep of concrete, which originates from the calcium silicate hydrates (C-S-H) in the hardened Portland cement paste (which is the binder of mineral aggregates), is fundamentally different from the creep of metals and polymers. Unlike the creep of metals, it occurs at all stress levels and, within the service stress range, is linearly dependent on the stress if the pore water content is constant. Unlike the creep of polymers and metals, it exhibits multi-months aging, caused by chemical hardening due to hydration which stiffens the microstructure, and multi-year aging, caused by long-term relaxation of self-equilibrated micro-stresses in the nano-porous microstructure of the C-S-H. If concrete is fully dried, it does not creep, but it is next to impossible to dry concrete fully without severe cracking.
Changes of pore water content due to drying or wetting processes cause significant volume changes of concrete in load-free specimens. They are called the shrinkage (typically causing strains between 0.0002 and 0.0005, and in low strength concretes even 0.0012) or swelling (< 0.00005 in normal concretes, < 0.00020 in high strength concretes). To separate shrinkage from creep, the compliance function J(t, t'), defined as the stress-produced strain \epsilon (i.e., the total strain minus shrinkage) caused at time t by a unit sustained uniaxial stress \sigma = 1 applied at age t', is measured as the strain difference between the loaded and load-free specimens.
The multi-year creep evolves logarithmically in time (with no final asymptotic value), and over the typical
structural lifetimes it may attain values 3 to 6 times larger than the initial elastic strain. When a deformation is suddenly imposed and held constant, creep causes relaxation of critically produced elastic stress. After unloading, creep recovery takes place, but it is partial, because of aging.
In practice, creep during drying is inseparable from shrinkage. The rate of creep increases with the rate
of change of pore humidity (i.e., relative vapor pressure in the pores). For small specimen thickness, the creep during drying greatly exceeds the sum of the drying shrinkage at no load and the creep of a loaded sealed specimen (Fig. 1 bottom). The difference, called the drying creep or Pickett effect (or stress-induced shrinkage), represents a hygro-mechanical coupling between strain and pore humidity changes.
Drying shrinkage at high humidities (Fig. 1 top and middle) is caused mainly by compressive stresses in
the solid microstructure which balance the increase in capillary tension and surface tension on the pore walls. At low pore humidities (<75%), shrinkage is caused by a decrease of the disjoining pressure across nano-pores less than about 3 nm thick, filled by adsorbed water.
The chemical processes of Portland cement hydration lead to another type of shrinkage, called the
autogeneous shrinkage, which is observed in sealed specimens, i.e., at no moisture loss. It is caused partly by chemical volume changes, but mainly by self-desiccation due to loss of water consumed by the hydration reaction. It amounts to only about 5% of the drying shrinkage in normal concretes, which self-desiccate to about 97% pore humidity. But it can equal the drying shrinkage in modern high-strength concretes with very low water-cement ratios, which may self-desiccate to as low as 75% humidity.
The creep originates in the calcium silicate hydrates (C-S-H) of hardened Portland cement paste. It is caused by slips due to bond ruptures, with bond restorations at adjacent sites. The C-S-H is strongly hydrophilic, and has a colloidal microstructure disordered from a few nanometers up. The paste has a porosity of about 0.4 to 0.55 and an enormous internal surface area, roughly 500 m2/cm3. Its main component is the tri-calcium silicate hydrate gel (3 CaO · 2 SiO3 · 3 H20, in short C3-S2-H3). The gel forms particles of colloidal dimensions, weakly bound by van der Waals forces.
The physical mechanism and modeling are still being debated. The constitutive material model in the equations that follow
is not the only one available but has at present the strongest theoretical foundation and fits best the full range of available
test data.
==Stress-strain relation at constant environment==

In service, the stresses in structures are < 50% of concrete strength, in which case the stress-strain relation
is linear, except for corrections due to microcracking when the pore humidity changes. The creep may thus be characterized by the compliance function J(t, t') (Fig. 2). As t' increases, the creep value for fixed t - t' diminishes. This
phenomenon, called aging, causes that J depends not only on the time lag t - t' but on both t and t' separately. At variable stress \sigma(t), each stress increment \mbox\sigma(t') applied at time t' produces strain history \mbox \epsilon(t) = J(t, t') \mbox \sigma(t'). The linearity implies the principle of superposition (introduced by Boltzmann and for the case of aging, by Volterra). This leads to the (uniaxial) stress-strain relation of linear aging viscoelasticity:
Here \epsilon^0 denotes shrinkage strain \epsilon_ augmented by thermal expansion, if any. The integral is the Stieltjes
integral, which admits histories \sigma (t) with jumps; for time intervals with no jumps, one may set \mbox \sigma (t') =
(\sigma (t') / \mbox t' ) \mbox t' to obtain the standard (Riemann) integral. When history \epsilon(t) is prescribed, then Eq.(1) represents a Volterra integral equation for \sigma (t). This equation is not analytically integrable for realistic forms of J(t, t'),
although numerical integration is easy. The solution \sigma (t) for strain \epsilon = 1 imposed at any age \hat (and for \epsilon^0 = 0)
is called the relaxation function R(t, \hat ).
To generalize Eq. (1) to a triaxial stress-strain relation, one may assume the material to be isotropic, with
an approximately constant creep Poisson ratio, \nu \approx 0.18. This yields volumetric and deviatoric stress-strain
relations similar to Eq. (1) in which J(t, t') is replaced by the bulk and shear compliance functions:
At high stress, the creep law appears to be nonlinear (Fig. 2) but Eq. (1) remains applicable if the
inelastic strain due to cracking with its time-dependent growth is included in \epsilon^0 (t). A viscoplastic strain
needs to be added to \epsilon^0 (t) only in the case that all the principal stresses are compressive and the smallest in
magnitude is much larger in magnitude than the uniaxial compressive strength f_c'.
In measurements, Young's elastic modulus E depends not only on concrete age t' but also on the test duration because the curve of
compliance J(t, t') versus load duration t - t' has a significant slope for all durations beginning with
0.001 s or less. Consequently, the conventional Young's elastic modulus should be obtained as E(t') = 1/J(t'+\delta, t'),
where \delta is the test duration. The values \delta \approx 0.01 day and t' = 28 days give good agreement with the
standardized test of E, including the growth of E as a function of t', and with the widely used empirical
estimate E = 57,000 \mbox \sqrt = 6895 \mbox , f_c' = \mbox). The zero-time extrapolation q_1 = J(t',t') = \lim_ J(t'+\delta,t') happens to be approximately age-independent, which makes q_1 a convenient parameter for defining J(t, t').
For creep at constant total water content, called the basic creep, a realistic rate form of the uniaxial compliance function (the thick curves in Fig. 1 bottom) was derived from the solidification theory:
,~~~\theta=t-t',~~~1/\eta_f = q_4 /t
|}}
where \dot x = \partial x /\partial t; \eta_f =
flow viscosity, which dominates multi-decade creep; \theta = load duration; \lambda_0 = 1 day, m = 0.5, n= 0.1; v(t)\rm MPa^ = volume of gel per unit volume of concrete, growing due to hydration; and q_2, q_3, q_4 = empirical constants (of dimension \rm MPa^). Function C_g(\theta) gives age-independent delayed elasticity of the
cement gel (hardened cement paste without its capillary pores) and, by integration, C_g(\theta) = \mbox().
Integration of \dot J(t, t') gives J(t, t') as a non-integrable binomial integral, and so, if the values of J(t, t') are sought, they must be obtained by numerical integration or by an approximation formula (a good formula exists). However, for computer structural analysis in time steps, J(t, t') is not needed; only the rate \dot J(t, t') is needed as the input.
Eqs. (3) and (4) are the simplest formulae satisfying three requirements: 1) Asymptotically for both short and long times \theta, \dot J(t, t'), should be a power function of time; and 2) so should the aging rate, given by (t)/\mbox t}) (power functions are indicated by self-similarity conditions); and 3) \partial^2 J(t,t') /\partial t \partial t' > 0 (this condition is required to prevent the principle of superposition from giving non-monotonic recovery curves after unloading which are physically objectionable).
