CONTROL OF CRACK WIDTH IN CONCRETE DUE TO DRYING SHRINKAGE BY GRID-TYPE CONTINUOUS FIBER REINFORCEMENT

Abstract

In this paper, an elastic spring model considering the adhesion of lorngitudinal strand is presented for estimating the drying shrinkage crack width of the concrete reinforced with the grid-type continuous fiber reinforcement.
The strains of reinforcement and the crack width in concrete are estimated by the proposed model and satisfied agreement with measured one was obtained.
