2.13.4 CEB 90 Model<br />

The CEB 90 model was developed by Muller and Hillsdorf [16].<br />

Shrinkage Calculation. Parameters required for calculation of shrinkage strain using the CEB 90<br />

model are mean 28-day concrete compressive strength f cm28<br />

, relative humidity H, age of concrete<br />

at the beginning of shrinkage t c , type of cement, and specimen shape.<br />

The strain due to shrinkage may be calculated from the following equation:<br />

ε s (t, t c )=ε cs0 β s (t − t c ) (2.54)<br />

where<br />

ε cs0 = notional shrinkage coefficient according to Eq. 2.55<br />

β s (t, t c ) = coefficient describing development of shrinkage with time according to Eq. 2.58<br />

where<br />

Notional shrinkage coefficient is<br />

ε cs0 = ε s (f cm28<br />

)β RH (2.55)<br />

ε s (f cm28<br />

)=concrete strength factor on shrinkage according to Eq. 2.56<br />

β RH = relative humidity factor on notional shrinkage coefficient according to Table 2.14<br />

<strong>Concrete</strong> strength factor on shrinkage, ε s (f cm28<br />

), can be calculated as<br />
