The Study on Cracking Strength of AIJs to Release the Early-Age Stress of Mass Concrete

This paper aims to theoretically and numerically assess the effect of setting artificial-induced joints (AIJs) during construction period of a mass concrete structure to release the early-stage thermal stress. With respect to the coupling influences of various factors such as size and boundary of AI...
