Análise teórico-experimental do concreto jovem

The research entitled above has as its main objective the study of the rheologic behavior of the concrete at its first ages, including the knowlegde of its behavior under several aspects until the third day after casting. The development of this research is based on studies already being carried out by several researchers all over the world, among whom we can find Bazant, Panula, Wilson, Byfors and Emborg. These related studies concern the rheological aspects of the concrete in its most important hardening phase, that is, when its characteristics have significative variations at extremely reduced time intervals. These studies comprise the performance of experiments in laboratory, where specimens of concrete, around eight hours after cast, are subimitted to constant strains. In this way the relaxation of the effort applied, can be measured and can also be observed the companion specimens which are witness. Futher the development of the resistance under compression and the development of Young's module can be measured utilizing cylindrical specimens, as well as the variation of temperature that occurs inside these specimens coming from the exothermic reactione of the cement which can provoke intolerable efforts (stresses) for certain structures. Simultaneously to the laboratory experiments, theoretical studies are developed allowing the matematical modelling and consequent numerical-computacional simulation of the phenomenon. The values provided by these models will be compared with results obtained from the experiments. The knowledge about the characteristics of the young concrete shows favorable points of application aiming the project and the construction of dams (velocity, thickness of the layers), the utilization of sliding moulds in the conventional construction and the analysis of the internal tensions that occur in the concretes during the phase in which these concretes are found in the interior of the moulds.
