1 Prcticl prediction of time- dependent deformtions of concrete Prt v: Temperture effect on drying creep Z. P. Bznt (1), L. Pnul (2) The model for drying creep from Prt II I is here extended for the temperture effect. The bsic, dditive form of the double power lw nd the shrinkge-like term re preserved, but certin coefficients become temperture-dependent to reflect the ccelertion of drying nd of ging. Stisfctory greement with test dt is chieved. INTROUCTION The effects of temperture upon creep of seled nd unseled specimens re known to be considerbly different. Heting increses the rte of moisture loss from the unseled specimens. nd during this process creep is intensified, while fter the moisture loss hs been completed, creep gets substntilly reduced. The model for the temperture effect on creep of seled specimens, which hs been presented in Prt IV. will now be extended to cover the cse of drying nd dried concrete e). PROPOSE FORMULAS From the physicl point of view. for concrete there is nothing specil bout the room temperture, compred to moderte elevted tempertures, such s 4 C. rt) Professor of Civil Engineering, Northwestern University, Evnston, Illinois 621, U.S.A.; Active Member, RILEM. e) Grdute Reserch Assistnt, Northwestern University, Evnston, Illinois 621, U.S.A.; presently Eng., Tippetts, Abbett McCrthy nd Strtton, New York. e) Reference numbers less thn 73 rc found in the preceding prts, Vol. 11, No. 65 (Sept.-Oct. 1978), pp , nd Vol. 11, No. 66 (Nov.-ec.), pp /1979/169/$ 4./ BORAS-UNO Therefore. the bsic formuls for drying creep. eqution (25). must retin the sme form t ll constnt moderte tempertures. lthough the coefficients in the formuls must be expected to vry s before.

Finlly. function Sp(l. to) giving the effect of drying time on the decrese of creep fter drying is (5) where LIT represents the reduced time lg which. however. differs from LIT' in tht it is tken up to the current time I rther thn the loding time I': i. e.. de t' - t It I - t' LlT= to h-[i (] = :(T ) + T'h(h' (51) where the lst expression pertins to step-wise temperture history, with step from Toto T t time I. ANAL YSIS OF PROPOSE FOR:1ULAS The term Co (t, t ') hs the sme form s before [eqution (34)] becuse it describes the bsic creep prt. Coefficient <P, chrcterizing the creep increse due to drying, diminishes s the time lg t' - to between the strt of loding nd the strt of heting increses. i. e.. s the specimen gets closer to hygrl equilibrium t the strt of loding. Becuse t higher tempertures the new hygrl equilibrium gets estblished fster, the dependence of <P upon t' - to must evidently involve temperture. The simplest possible pproch is to define n equivlent or reduced time lg LIT' for vrious tempertures. (In fct. the use of reduced time seems to be the only proper choice becuse the ccelertion of drying by heting is instntneous. without memory effects.) The reduced time is introduced by the integrl in eqution (46) for generlly vrible temperture. wheres the lst expression in eqution (46) pplies for. step-wise temperture history which equls T lj from the time. 1, of drying exposure to certin intermedite time. [;. nd given constnt elevted temperture T from time / to the time of loding. ['. Coefficient k is chosen to be 1. t reference temperture To = 23 C nd to grow with temperture. Since t high tempertures k; is lrge. eqution (46) will give reltively lrge reduced time lg LIT' even if the ctul time lg I' -/(, is smll. For concrete loded long enough time fter the strt of drying, the drying creep term Cd (I. 1'.1 ) must vnish. i. e.. <P=O. which is indeed properly indicted by eqution (45). Mrechl's tests [75] (see lso [76] nd [77]) re n exmple of reltively long time lg I' -I o. which cused the response to be rther different from other dt. Without eqution (45) such differences could not be modeled. Temperture ffects not only the mgnitude of the drying creep term (<p) but lso the rte of development of this term nd the dependence of this rte on size. This is modeled by coefficient k [eqution (48)]. which enters the clcultion of Tsh (7) ccording to equtions (4)-(5) (Prt I). Without coefficient k;. LIT' would be proportionl to k; (becuse Tsh is proportionl to 11k;). This dependence is, however. insufficient nd coefficient k serves to intensify the dependence of LIT' upon-t. mking LIT' in effect proportionl to (k )2.25. This models the fct tht the effect of heting before loding upon the mgnitude of the drying creep term ppers to be stronger thn the effect of heting upon the rte of development of the drying creep term, given by the shrinkge-squre hlf-time in eqution (47) for Sd (I. I '). The fct tht k; enters through Tsh in eqution (47) utomticlly gives the temperture influence upon the size-dependence of the drying creep term; however, this dependence must further be djusted by coefficient (k;)l /4. giving the overll dependence s (k;)5 /4. The optimum dependence of coefficients k; nd k upon T hs not come out to be of the ctivtion energy type. Nevertheless, the reduced time pproch, i. e., the use of LIT' nd LIT. is in greement with the rte-process theory (ctivtion energy model). Temperture ffects, however, not only the rte of the drying creep term, governed by Tsh in eqution (47), but lso the time shpe of this term. At higher temperture, the rise of Sd(t, t') in time is more grdul, nd so the exponent in eqution (47) ought to get smller upon heting. This is chieved by correction of coeffi-. cient Kl in the exponent of eqution (47). In Prt I, eqution (8), the ctivtion energy concept ws ssumed to describe the temperture dependence of coefficient k;. However, it ppered tht ccording 17

Pnul k., I +( T3.I5) 4 ( 4 _ 4 ) 1 exp,l- To T ->< Temperture in C Fig Coefficient k s function of temperture. to this concept the vlues of k; t higher tempertures (> 75 C) re much too high. which yields too smll vlues of 'sh nd does not give proper size dependence. The temperture dependence introduced by eqution (48) closely follows the ctivtion energy dependence up to bout 75 C but beyond this vlue k; rises slower (see jig. 35). As in Prt III the decrese of creep fter drying. given by function Cp(t, t', to). is proportionl to the bsic creep term Co (t, t '), becuse the shpe of creep curves fter drying is similr, nd is verticlly scled ccording to the degree of drying reched up to the current time t, s given by the shrinkge-like function Sp(t, to) in eqution (5). COMPARISON WITH TEST ATA Only reltively limited test dt on drying creep of heted concrete exist, nd they mostly del with concretes which re typicl of rector vessels. Five different comprehensive test dt sets vilble in the literture ([73], [63], [74], [7]. [75]) hve been fitted by the preceding formuls (see jig. 36). In these fits, 1/ Eo hs been determined by optimizing the fit of the drying creep dt t room temperture. Thus, the fits shown indicte the bility of the formuls to describe the effect of temperture upon drying creep when there is no error in 1/ Eo. ifferent fits, in which 1/ Eo is lso predicted with formul [eqution (19)], re exhibited in figure 37. The most comprehensive nd consistent dt set is tht of Hickey [73]. A rther unusul curing history (specimens demolded fter 24 hours nd stored therefter t 5 % reltive humidity) ws used in Seki nd Kwsumi's tests [7], nd the totl predictions in figure 37 must be' judged in this light. They re poor becuse the vlue of 1/ Eo determined from bsic creep dt (Prt IV), s well s tht from eqution (19). ws 19% smller (.15 x 1-6/ psi) thn the vlue indicted by the optimum fits from drying creep dt t To (jig. 36). Becuse the erly drying exposure in these tests unusully impired the strength development. the vlue of 1/ Eu ws higher compred to tht from the prediction formuls. Moreover. this cused tht the bsic creep curves J (t, t ') for t' = 29 dys nd 15 dys were unusully close to ech other. The fits re lso rendered more difficult by the fct tht the reltive humidity ws not controlled nd only n pproximte men vlue ws given. The drying creep of heted concrete very strongly depends on the movement of wter. which itself is rther scttered phenomenon. So, highly ccurte formuls re impossible without good model for the diffusion of wter. The tests of Gross [74] were of reltively short creep durtion. In these tests, the curves for 4. 6 nd 8 C re very close to ech other. compred to other dt. For the tests of Arthnri nd Yu [63] the reltive humidities for 2, nd 12 C were not reported nd they hve been, therefore, ssumed to be 7. 25, 3 nd 1 % respectively. Nevertheless. these estimtes must be good enough for higher tempertures (84 nd 12 C) becuse the humidities obtined by heting room ir t constnt moisture content of the ir lwys fll within few percent from zero. The initil elstic deformtion for these tests hd to be estimted. too. which ws done by compring the creep vlues for very short times to the corresponding creep vlues reported for seled specimens of the sme composition. ue to sctter of these dt, the curves for 58 nd 84 C cross ech other, which is illogicl nd mkes it. nywy, impossible to chieve ccurte fits. So. the results must be regrded more in the qulittive sense. Mrechl's tests [75] differed from the other tests minly by the use of long preheting period (15 dys) nd lso by rther smll specimen size. This cused the specimens t high temperture to lose much of their wter before loding while t lower tempertures the 15 dy period ws not sufficient to produce severe drying of the specimens. This explins why in Mrechl's tests the creep t 7 C ws less thn the creep t 5 C. Figure 38 shows tht the present formultion is cpble of modeling this reverse dependence on temperture; this is chieved by decresing the mgnitude of Cd (t, t', to) by mens of <p, nd by incresing the mgnitude of C p (t, t', to), which is still smll t 5 C but becomes very lrge beyond 1 C. Mrechl's dt show pek vlue of creep t 5 C while the present formuls gve pek t 7 C, which could not be further djusted without cusing the temperture increse of creep to be too smll in fitting other test dt. For this reson the fit of Mrechl's dt is not too good. lthough the behvior predicted is qulittively correct. The initil elstic deformtion for Mrechl's dt ws not reported s prt of the creep dt in [75 ], but temperture dependence of E tht is probbly pertinent to these dt ws reported in reference [62], which ws used in fitting. The reltive humidities nd mix proportions hd to be lso ssumed, which ws done so s to get typicl verge vlues of m, nnd ry.. 171
