Modeling Restrained Shrinkage Induced Cracking in Concrete Rings Using the Thick Level Set Approach
Modeling restrained shrinkage-induced damage and cracking in concrete is addressed herein. The novel Thick Level Set (TLS) damage growth and crack propagation model is used and adapted by introducing shrinkage contribution into the formulation. The TLS capacity to predict damage evolution, crack ini...
