Experimentally Validated Computational Modeling of Creep and creep-Cracking for Nuclear Concrete Structures - Texas Engineering Experiment Station

Texas A&M University proposes to 1) devise new, 3D concrete material constitutive models base on 3D creep and cracking experiments, 2) establish an improved large-scale structural modeling approach that considers full 3D stress fields rather than plane stress as has been conventional in past analyses of nuclear concrete structures.
