It is a complex problem that forecast and control the shrinkage and creep of concrete and influence on the performance of the structures.Through the conmparion of all kinds of common model,the article have also analysed the main influence factors about the concrete shrinkage and creep effect . The results showed that JTJ 85 model for shrinkage and creep effect tends to conservative calculation; the creep coefficient and shrinkage strain of JTG D62 model and the CEB-FIP model were basically consistent; and ACI 209 model underestimated the concrete shrinkage and creep effect. Theoretical depth of components was more sensitive to concrete shrinkage strain, and creep coefficient was smaller sensitivity; The effect of concrete creep increases with the decreasing of age at loading, when age of loading percentage increased from three to 28 days, the concrete creep effect of the terminal value reduced about 80%; The influence of environment average relative humidity on shrinkage and creep effect is more sensitive, when environment average relative humidity increased from 50% to 80%, creep coefficient nearly reduced about 30%,and shrinkage strain decreased 50%, in comparison, the influence of environment relative humidity chance on the concrete shrinkage effect is greater than that on creep effect.

The concrete shrinkage strain and creep coefficient calculation method in CEB - FIP MC90 model is briefly introduced. For application convenience in bridge design, a simplified formula for calculation of the concrete shrinkage strain and creep coefficient is derived. Considering the varying range of every influence factor, a correlation analysis for the factor is carried out. And the weights of those factors related to concrete shrinkage and creep coefficient are discussed. Considering the climate characteristics and the bridge structure features in the Pearl River Delta area, the variation ranges of concrete nominal shrinkage strain and nominal creep coefficient are calculated respectively.

In this study, the shrinkage and creep of concrete containing graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets were experimentally and theoretically investigated. Experiments for the shrinkage and creep of concrete with 0.02% and 0.08% GO nanosheets by the weight of cement and common concrete were carried out. Subsequently, the influence of GO nanosheets on the shrinkage and creep of concrete was analyzed and discussed. A modified model was developed to accurately predict the shrinkage and creep of concrete containing GO nanosheets after models for predicting shrinkage and creep of common concrete were compared and the influential factors and application scope were determined. Results indicate that: (1) GO nanosheets can increase the shrinkage strain and reduce the creep coefficient of concrete, and (2) a modified ACI209 (92) model can accurately predict the shrinkage and creep of concrete containing GO nanosheets. Factors considering concrete strength can be introduced in the model to improve the model accuracy.

Continuous double steel and concrete composite beam is a new structural system developed on the basis of common steel and concrete composite beam. Controlling concrete slab crack width in a continuous double composite beam is a significant content in the bridge construction process. Jacking-up and landing bearing supports method is applied to a double composite girder bridge construction and its structural mechanical behaviors in the whole process will be simulated. By using of User Programmable Features and ANSYS Parametric Design Language, the commercial FEM software ANSYS was further developed. The exponential model of concrete creep and the implicit solution of concrete creep equation under the action of variable stress were introduced into ANSYS, to realize the concrete shrinkage and creep effect analysis of double composite continuous box-girder bridges constructed by pre-jacking method. The results show that it is improved that the stress state of the top concrete slab in the negative moment regions by pre-jacking method. Due to the effect of concrete creep, the concrete creep will cause tensile stress in the negative moment regions of the composite beam, which will reduce the compressive stress in the top concrete slab. The effect of prestressing is greatly affected by pre-jacking value, and the creep of the concrete also causes the stress redistribution of the concrete and the steel beam.

In constant temperature and humidity environment, the properties of shrinkage and creep for a group of plain concrete and reinforced concrete columns were observed in long-term and experimental method. The curves of concrete shrinkage and creep effect with time were obtained. Checking coefficient and type coefficient of shrinkage and creep effect were put forward in order to predict models of shrinkage and creep. Using the least square method, functions of checking coefficient and type coefficient were acquired and the prediction models of shrinkage strain and creep coefficient of concrete were obtained based on the modification of the formula of JTG D62-2004. The foundation is laid for the application of the long-term performance research in bridge structure.

Non-structural cracking of concrete is a serious problem and the underlying phenomena, namely, shrinkage and creep, need to be better understood. Much research has been devoted to this complex problem. However, despite major successes, the phenomenon of autogenous shrinkage is still far from being fully understood. The paper discusses the main aspects of concrete shrinkage, with a focus on autogenous shrinkage, which are especially important in low water/binder ratio concrete. These aspects include the theories of physical mechanism, prediction models and future research trends. Shrinkage of concrete due to moisture changes, which result in surface and capillary tension, was reviewed. The mechanisms often cannot be directly linked to the macroscopically observed dilatation/contraction. An overview of recent model developments is also presented.

<p>The effect of time of day and month on the efficient conversion of solar energy to electrical energy using a polycrystalline (PV) module in calabar was studied. A KT-908 precision digital hygrometer and thermometer, and a M890C+ digital multimeter were used in the process. Results obtained shows that photovoltaic produce different levels of peak efficiencies at different times of the day for different months due to the difference in sunrise and sunset times for the months. The results also indicated that photovoltaics will be more efficient in months with low average relative humidity couple with low panel temperature. A peak efficiency of 77% at 12:30 in the month of April was observed before dropping to 73% at 12:00 in the month of May, indicating that there might be further drop in efficiency as we proceed further into the year. Results also show that photovoltaics are more efficient before noon in the month of May than in April while the reverse will be observed in the afternoon. </p>

Abstract Background: The effects of temperature and humidity on the epidemic growth of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)remains unclear.Methods: Daily scatter plots between the epidemic growth rate (GR) and average temperature (AT) or average relative humidity (ARH) were presented with curve fitting through the “loess” method. The heterogeneity across days and provinces were calculated to assess the necessity of using a longitudinal model. Fixed effect models with polynomial terms were developed to quantify the relationship between variations in the GR and AT or ARH.Results: An increased AT dramatically reduced the GR when the AT was lower than −5°C, the GR was moderately reduced when the AT ranged from −5°C to 15°C, and the GR increased when the AT exceeded 15°C. An increasedARH increased theGR when the ARH was lower than 72% and reduced theGR when the ARH exceeded 72%.Conclusions: High temperatures and low humidity may reduce the GR of the COVID-19 epidemic. The temperature and humidity curves were not linearly associated with the COVID-19 GR.

To improve the calculation precision of deformation in prestressed concrete bridge in passenger dedicated line and accurately predict the development of shrinkage and creep in bridge, a universal applicable modified model was put forward in this paper based on ACI 209R(1992) shrinkage and creep model. In the modified model, three influence factors-slump, strength and reinforcement - are corrected. And the modified model results were compared with the experimental results. It shows that the modified model can more accurately predict the development of shrinkage and creep of high-speed railway bridge and better accord with the law of it.
