8.2.2 Concrete Shrinkage Models

DIANA offers concrete shrinkage models for European, American, and Dutch codes as described in this section. See Chapter 20 for background theory.

The units of the input data for the concrete shrinkage model (day, MPa, mm, °C) refer to the codes and are independent of the units in other input data or commands. If a time unit other than SI (seconds) is used for other input data or commands, then you must specify the time unit that you used in table 'UNITS' [Vol. Analysis Procedures].

SHRINN
MC1990 indicates the European CEB-FIP Model Code 1990 [16].

FCM28
fcm28 is the mean compressive strength fcm (in MPa) of a concrete cylinder at the age of twenty-eight days.

H
notsiz is the notational size of the member h in mm, h = 2Ac/u , with Ac the cross-section and u the perimeter in contact with the atmosphere.

CEMTYP
cemtyp specifies the cement type: SL for slowly hardening cements, NR for normal and rapidly hardening cements or RS for rapidly hardening high strength cements. [CEMTYP NR]

RH
humid is the relative ambient humidity RH in %. [ RH = 80% ]

CURAGE
ti0 is the concrete age in days at the end of the curing period. DIANA assumes that during this period no shrinkage occurs. Default is no curing. [CURAGE 0]

SHRINN
ACI209 indicates the American Concrete Institute code 209 [1].

FCM28
fcm28 is the mean compressive strength fcm (in Mpa) of a concrete cube or cylinder at the age of twenty-eight days.

H
notsiz is the notational size of the member h in mm, h = 2Ac/u , with Ac the cross-section and u the perimeter in contact with the atmosphere.

CEMTYP
cemtyp specifies the cement type: I for class-I cement, III for class-III cement. [CEMENT I]

RH
humid is the relative ambient humidity RH in %. [ RH = 40% ]

FINAGG
agg is the ratio of fine to total aggregate in %. [FINAGG 60]

SLUMP
slmm is the slump of concrete slurry in mm. [SLUMP 70]

AIRCNT
air is the air content in %. [AIRCNT 7]

CEMCNT
cem is the cement content in kg/m3 . [CEMCNT 450]

CURTYP
curtyp specifies a curing method according to the ACI 209 code [1]: MOIST for moistening (the default) [MOIST] or STEAM for curing with steam.

CURAGE
ti0 is the concrete age in days at the end of the curing period. Defaults are 7 days for moistening or 3 days for curing with steam.

SHRINN
NN6720 indicates the Dutch NEN 6720 code [76].

FCK28
fck28 is the characteristic strength fck (in MPa) of a concrete cube at the age of twenty-eight days. Rule of thumb: fck = fcm - 8 , with fcm the mean compressive strength (in MPa) of a concrete cube at the age of twenty-eight days.

H
notsiz is the notational size of the member h in mm, h = 2Ac/u , with Ac the cross-section and u the perimeter in contact with the atmosphere.

RH
humid is the relative ambient humidity RH in %. [ RH = 80% ]

OMEGA
reinpe is the lowest reinforcement percentage $ \bar{{\omega}}_{{0}}^{}$ . [ $ \bar{{\omega}}_{{0}}^{}$ = 0 ]

CURAGE
ti0 is the concrete age in days at the end of the curing period. DIANA assumes that during this period no shrinkage occurs. Default is no curing. [CURAGE 0]
