<p>This chapter presents a state-of-the-art review of work published to date on the time-dependent response of composite steel-concrete slabs. The key components of this form of construction are introduced in the first part of the chapter, followed by a review of the time-dependent behaviour of the concrete and how it affects the in-service response of composite slabs. Throughout the chapter, particular attention is given to recent experimental and modelling work related to concrete time effects, and how these affect the in-service response of composite slabs, including the development of non-uniform shrinkage gradients that have been recently shown to occur in composite floors due to the inability of the concrete to dry from its underside because of the presence of the profiled steel sheeting.</p>

Shotcrete is ordinary concrete applied to the surface under high pressure. It demonstrates a highly time-dependent behaviour after few hours of application. Traditional approaches assume a simple linear elastic behaviour using a hypothetical young modulus to investigate the time-dependency and creep effects. In this paper, a new constitutive model of shotcrete is applied to evaluate the time-dependent behaviour of a TBM tunnel lining and investigate the parameters that can influence this behaviour. The Shotcrete model is based on the framework of Elasto-plasticity and designed to model shotcrete linings more realistically. The basic data of Pahang-Selangor Raw Water Transfer Project is used for the analysis study. An attempt is made to investigate the influence of some input parameters of the shotcrete model on the time-dependent behaviour of the shotcrete lining. These parameters include the time-dependent stiffness/strength parameters, creep and shrinkage parameters and steel fibre parameters. The variation in shotcrete strength classes causes a noticeable influence on the development of shotcrete compressive strength with time, particularly during the first days of application. The creep and shrinkage strain cause a considerable reduction in the development of the shotcrete stress with time. The impact of steel fibre content is determined, and the result indicated that the development of plain shotcrete stresses with time is lower than that of the reinforced shotcrete. In addition, a comparison study is performed to analyse the tunnel lining behaviour using both shotcrete model and an elastic analysis. Significant differences in shotcrete lining stresses are achieved when using the elastic analysis while the shotcrete model results in a reasonable result that can be used for the design requirements.

Abstract In-vitro mechanical indentation experimentation is performed on bulk liver tissue of lamb to characterize its nonlinear material behaviour. The material response is characterized by a visco-hyperelastic material model by the use of 2-dimensional inverse finite element (FE) analysis. The time-dependent behaviour is characterized by the viscoelastic model represented by a 4-parameter Prony series, whereas the large deformations are modelled using the hyperelastic Neo-Hookean model. The shear response described by the initial and final shear moduli and the corresponding Prony series parameters are optimized using ANSYS with the Root Mean Square (RMS) error being the objective function. Optimized material properties are validated using experimental results obtained under different loading histories. To study the efficacy of a 2D model, a three dimensional (3D) model of the specimen is developed using Micro-CT of the specimen. The initial elastic modulus of the lamb liver obtained was found to 13.5 kPa for 5% indentation depth at a loading rate of 1 mm/sec for 1-cycle. These properties are able to predict the response at 8.33% depth and a loading rate of 5 mm/sec at multiple cycles with reasonable accuracy. Article highlights The visco-hyperelastic model accurately models the large displacement as well as the time-dependent behaviour of the bulk liver tissue. Mapped meshing of the 3D FE model saves computational time and captures localized displacement in an accurate manner. The 2D axisymmetric model while predicting the force response of the bulk tissue, cannot predict the localized deformations.

AbstractWe report on a method to investigate the inhomogeneous distribution of an electric dc field in multilayer polymer stacks. In situ electroabsorption (EA) measurements are applied in order to estimate the local electric fields in double layer polymer films. The observed time dependent behaviour is compared with a model equivalent circuit. The results indicate that besides the relation of ohmic resistivities and capacities of the different polymer layers in the investigated systems also the influence of the electric properties of polymer/electrode and polymer/polymer interfaces must be considered.
