Simulation and Analysis of the Thermal Stress in Concrete under Temperature Fluctuation Condition

Abstract:

The temperature field distribution and thermal stress distribution in concrete has been studied by finite elements method to establish the relationship between the thermal stress and the temperature in this paper. The results show that the maximum thermal gradient and the maximum thermal stress in the concrete appears on the direction of greater structural dimension, and the thermal stress value is positively correlated with thermal gradient or saying temperature difference and elastic modulus, and is negatively correlated with the water content and air content.
