Creep, Shrinkage and Durability Mechanics of Concrete and Concrete Structures, Two Volume Set Proceedings of the CONCREEP 8 conference held in Ise-Shima, Japan, 30 September - 2 October 2008

CREEP, SHRINKAGE AND DURABILITY MECHANICS OF CONCRETE AND CONCRETE STRUCTURES contains the keynote lectures, technical reports and contributed papers presented at the Eighth International Conference on Creep, Shrinkage and Durability of Concrete and Concrete Structures (CONCREEP8, Ise-shima, Japan, 30 September - 2 October 2008). The topics covered include:
- Micro structural characterization and micro-mechanics of creep and shrinkage
- Multiphase and multi-scale approaches to creep, shrinkage and durability
- Creep and shrinkage of early age concrete
- Interaction between creep and fracture in cement based materials
- Structural mechanics of creep and shrinkage
- Creep, shrinkage, and durability of new concrete products
- Shrinkage reducing methods and admixtures
- Deterioration kinetics of concrete structures in aggressive environments and its modeling
- Durability mechanics of concrete and concrete structures
- Testing methods of durability related characteristics
- Design, Standard recommendations, and Codes
CREEP, SHRINKAGE AND DURABILITY MECHANICS OF CONCRETE AND CONCRETE STRUCTURES will be of interest to academics, engineers and professionals involved in concrete and concrete structures.
