Viscoelasticity of UHPC—Computation of Maxwell Chain Relaxation Spectra Based on Creep Experiments

The present paper gives an overview of creep data of UHPC and an appropriate creep function based on this data which was used to compute age-dependent relaxation spectra, i.e. Maxwell chain parameters. The relaxation spectra computed was validated with the help of cracking frame tests. The numerical...

Summary:The present paper gives an overview of creep data of UHPC and an appropriate creep function based on this data which was used to compute age-dependent relaxation spectra, i.e. Maxwell chain parameters. The relaxation spectra computed was validated with the help of cracking frame tests. The numerically obtained relaxation spectra enables mechanical studies of members made from UHPC taking into account the agedependent viscoelastic behavior.
