7.1.2 Young Hardening Concrete Models

In analyses of young hardening concrete the stiffness modulus as used in the Double Power Law (7.1) depends strongly on the temperature and the maturity. DIANA offers several models to describe the evolution of the modulus of elasticity: a model according to Reinhardt [§7.1.2.1] and models according to various Model Codes [§7.1.2.2]. Alternatively you may code the evolution of the modulus of elasticity in a user-supplied subroutine [§7.1.2.3].
Models for young hardening concrete cannot be combined with orthotropic material.
With some of the models, you may have to supply the following input data: Instead of this explicit input you may perform a a so-called staggered flow-stress analysis: a heat flow analysis with hydration heat to determine the temperature and the maturity variable as a function of time, followed by a strcutural analysis [Vol. Analysis Procedures].


7.1.2.1 Reinhardt Model

The first model was proposed by Reinhardt et al. [84]. This model shall be used with the degree of reaction r as the maturity variable. The time dependent stiffness modulus is given by the following empirical formula

E(t) = E0$\displaystyle \int_{{0}}^{{t}}$$\displaystyle \gamma$($\displaystyle \tau$)  $\displaystyle \dot{{r}}$($\displaystyle \tau$)  $\displaystyle \left(\vphantom{ 1 - e^{ -\beta_{0}\tfrac{t-\tau}{\alpha(\tau)} } }\right.$1 - e-$\scriptstyle \beta_{{0}}$$\scriptstyle {\tfrac{{t-\tau}}{{\alpha(\tau)}}}$$\displaystyle \left.\vphantom{ 1 - e^{ -\beta_{0}\tfrac{t-\tau}{\alpha(\tau)} } }\right)$ d$\displaystyle \tau$ (7.2)

with

$\displaystyle \gamma$(t) = $\displaystyle \left(\vphantom{ \frac{T_{0} + T(t)}{273} }\right.$$\displaystyle {\frac{{T_{0} + T(t)}}{{273}}}$$\displaystyle \left.\vphantom{ \frac{T_{0} + T(t)}{273} }\right)^{{\!7}}_{}$        and        $\displaystyle \alpha$(t) = $\displaystyle \left(\vphantom{ \frac{T_{0} + T(t)}{273} }\right.$$\displaystyle {\frac{{T_{0} + T(t)}}{{273}}}$$\displaystyle \left.\vphantom{ \frac{T_{0} + T(t)}{273} }\right)^{{\!6}}_{}$ (7.3)

Here T0 is the offset temperature relative to which the temperatures T(t) are given. For instance if T(t) is given in kelvin then T0 = 0 and if T(t) is given in °C then T0 = 273 . You may select the values E0 , $ \beta_{{0}}^{}$ and T0 . DIANA calculates the stiffness modulus in the initialization phase of a time or load step. The integral is approximated by a midpoint rule over intervals in r that are at most 0.1 long.

YOUHAR
REINHA applies maturity influence according to Reinhardt model, i.e., based on the degree of reaction.

YOUNG0
e0 is the stiffness modulus E0 . (E0 > 0 )By default, DIANA assumes that E0 equals the input Young's modulus.

BETA0
beta0 is the first model parameter $ \beta_{{0}}^{}$ . [BETA0 = 0.075]

TEMP0
te0 is the second model parameter T0 . [ T0 = 273 ]


7.1.2.2 Model Codes

For analysis of young hardening concrete, DIANA offers concrete models for American, European and Japanese codes as described below. See Chapter 20 for background theory. With model codes, the input data (day, MPa, mm, °C ) are independent of the units in other input data or commands. If a time unit other than SI (seconds) is used, then you must specify it in table 'UNITS' [Vol. Analysis Procedures].
Note that Young's modulus evaluation can be given as a function of the equivalent age teq for CEB-FIP Model Code and JCI Model Code. Using the Saul definition for equivalent age along with CEB-FIP Model Code or using the Arrhenius-type definition along with JCI Model Code may lead to wrong estimate of the Young's modulus.

specifies that the ambient influence on Young's modulus is determined via a user-supplied subroutine [§11.1.1]. DIANA passes the keyword usrkey to the first argument of this subroutine. The ambient influence can be any function of temperature, concentration, maturity and time.
