Abstract Specific features of the thermal stress fields in roller compacted concrete (RCC) dam are always their spatial character and completely dependent on the maturity functions such as deformations properties (elastic, creep). The thermal changes in the material affect the elastic, creep properties of the material, and in turn, the stress fields within the structure. Therefore, the effects of temperature on the properties of RCC materials( elastic, creep) has to be taken into account in order to determine the risk of the thermally induced cracking in these dams. In this study, a viscoelastic model, including ageing effects and thermal dependent properties… More >
