Self- Induced stresses in hardening high performance concrete structures

This paper presents results from a norwegian four years research programme. The activities are ranging from basic material research toanalysis and instrumentation of real concrete structures. The theoretical part of the project, based on application and further development of the program system Diana, is shortly described. Results from experiments on mechanical properties, carried out for various temperature histories, are reported and compared to material models. Further are results from a "free movement test rig" and a "temperature-stress-machine" presented, and compared to results from analyses with Diana. Analysis of a typical structural example is included. Key words: High strength concrete, temperature, shrinka ge,hardening, analysis.
