Applications of a LITS semi-empirical model in plain and reinforced concrete members subjected to a uniaxial compressive load

Abstract This paper describes a LITS (Load Induced Thermal Strain) semi empirical model and two practical applications in simple and reinforced concrete members. The model allows a preliminary and straightforward quantification of the total strain of concrete structures submitted to heating and a su...
