Long Term Prediction of the Delayed Behavior of Concrete Structures – The Case of the VERCORS Mock-Up
The prediction of the long-term behavior of prestressed concrete structures is important in order to assess and/or extend the service life of such structures. Here, a modelling of the delayed strains (creep and shrinkage of concrete and relaxation of steel), based on the relations of the next Eurocode 2 (EC2), is used to predict the behavior of the internal vessel of the VERCORS mock-up of a French NPP. This modelling considers the influence of the temperature and of the relative humidity (varying under service conditions). The predicted delayed strains are compared with the measurements and different hypotheses are tested to improve the prediction of the delayed strains.
