If a restraint exists along the contact surface of mature concrete against which a new concrete element has been cast, generated stresses are mostly of a restraint origin. In engineering practice a wide range of externally restrained concrete elements can be distinguished such as tank walls or bridge abutments cast against an old set foundation, in which early-age cracking may endanger their durability or functionality. Therefore, for years methods were being developed to predict early-age stresses and cracking risk of externally restrained concrete elements subjected to early-age thermal-moisture effects. The paper presents the comparative study of the most recognised analytical approaches: the method proposed in EC2, the method proposed by ACI Committee 207 and the method developed at the Luleå University of Technology.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Comparison of Analytical Methods for Estimation of Early-Age Thermal-Shrinkage Stresses in RC Walls}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/83859/mainfile.pdf}, keywords={RC wall, thermal-shrinkage stresses, degree of restraint, analytical models}, }
