Abstract
In order to investigate the probability of cracking of hardening concrete in terms of the maximal allowable crack width, a full-scale concrete element has been evaluated. For this, evaluation, In order to investigate this issue, a concrete element has been simulated which measures a thickness of 1m and a height of 3m. The length deformations of the wall are considered to be fully restraint by 100%. The ambient conditions are taken into account, as well as the concrete mix parameters (see Table 1). TEMPSPAN, which is an acronym for TEMPeratuur (temperature) and SPANningen (stresses), is used to calculate the hardening stresses which develop during hardening.
