Van Breugel, K. Faculty Civil Engineering and Geosciences Department Concrete Structures Date 1998-01-01 Abstract In this paper a numerical model is presented with which it is possible to predict the non-thermal hydration-induced volume changes that develop during hardening of a cement-based material. The model equilibrates the relative humidity in the pore system with the free surface energy in hardening cement past. From a certain state of equilibrium, the deformation of a cementitious material can be determined. The numerical simulations are in good agreement with a limited number of experimental results considered in this paper.
