Cohesive element-based chemo-thermo-mechanical multi-field coupled cracking simulation of early-age concrete
THEORETICAL AND APPLIED FRACTURE MECHANICS(2024)
摘要
Due to the intense exothermic hydration process, early-age concrete undergoes restrained shrinkage deformation, which can easily lead to cracks in concrete structures during construction. In order to accurately predict the adverse effects of early-age concrete cracking behavior, a cohesive element-based chemo-thermo-mechanical multi-field coupled cracking model of early-age concrete is proposed in this study. Parametric analysis shows that by selecting appropriate gap conductance, constitutive thickness, mesh size, and viscosity coefficient for the cohesive elements, the multi-field coupled cracking model can successfully simulate the entire cracking process of early-age concrete, and it has the ability to obtain crack development behavior based on the real displacement field jumps, coordinates, and damage of cohesive elements. The validation of the numerical examples reveals the competing mechanisms between thermal expansion and autogenous shrinkage in early-age concrete and accurately predicts the cracking strain, region, time, and width (within an order of magnitude) as reported in the literature.
