Abstract

This article outlines an experimental and numerical study of basic creep in High Performance Concrete. About 100 cylinders (studies of creep and shrinkage) and 400 cubes (for studies of hydration, internal relative humidity, and strength) were tested. The ambient climate was held constant at 20°C. One concrete was studied at other temperatures between-20°C and 60°C. Analyses were carried out of quasi-instantaneous deformation, short-and longterm basic creep, autogenous shrinkage, hydration, internal relative humidity, and compressive strength. The project was carried out between 1992 and 1996.

Résumé

Cet article décrit une étude expérimentale et numérique du fluage de base dans un béton de haute performance. Une centaine de cylindres (études de fluage et de retrait) et 400 cubes (pour étude de l'hydratation, de l'humidité relative interne, et de la résistance) ont été testés. Le climat ambiant a été constamment maintenu à+20°C. Un béton a fait l'objet d'une étude à d'autres températures comprises entre-20°C et+60°C. Des analyses ont été réalisées portant sur une déformation quasi-instantanée, sur un fluage de base à court et long terme, sur un retrait autogène, sur l'hydrantation, sur l'humidité relative interne et sur la résistance à la compression. Le projet s'est déroulé entre 1992 et 1996.
