Mechanics and Physics of Creep, Shrinkage, and Durability of Concrete: A Tribute to Zdenek P. Bažant : Proceedings of the Ninth International Conference on Creep, Shrinkage, and Durability Mechanics (CONCREEP-9), September 22-25, 2013 Cambridge, Massachusetts
The mesomechanical model for concrete previously developed for purely mechanical
actions, is used as the basis for coupled durability mechanics calculations. Until now,
the phenomena studied include drying shrinkage, external sulfate attack and
mechanical effects of high temperatures. On-going work is focusing on alkali-silica
reaction (ASR). From the chemical viewpoint, ASR is represented with a three-field
diffusion-reaction chemical model, which is shown to qualitatively and quantitatively

The mesomechanical model for concrete previously developed for purely mechanical

the phenomena studied include drying shrinkage, external sulfate attack and

reaction (ASR). From the chemical viewpoint, ASR is represented with a three-field
diffusion-reaction chemical model, which is shown to qualitatively and quantitatively
reproduce some experimental measurements of sandwich-type specimens subject to
standardized accelerated ASR tests. The model developed includes the recently
identified role of Calcium in this type of expansive reactions.
