Its initial validation against shrinkage tests shows promise. If the mathematical model can be further validated, it has potential to improve structural engineering simulations, concrete material design and our understanding of concrete drying shrinkage’s underlying mechanics. It would be a significant step forward in concrete drying shrinkage simulation. This thesis will review the Ishikawa model’s working concepts and apply the computational model to existing finite element software. Literature review and behavior of the model implementation shows that this (type of) model is a promising development in concrete drying shrinkage simulation.
