Jp. Charron et al., Comparative analysis of phenomenological models describing the behavior ofearly-age concrete. Part one, CAN J CIV E, 28(2), 2001, pp. 314-322
A comparative study of phenomenological models used to describe the behavio
r of concrete at early age was realized. The main objective of this review
is to evaluate the ability of various models to predict the autogeneous shr
inkage and the basic creep of concrete. The report also proposes some impro
vements to these models. This constitutes the first part of a series of two
complementary papers.
