ABSTRACT
Curvatures and strains obtained by the finite element method and the beam theory were compared with those obtained in the experiments. The CEB/MC90, the model by Iwaki et al. and "effective elastic modulus" by JCSE were used to consider creep and a step by step method was adopted in the computations. Cracking moments of the beams subjected to the effect of hydration heat were noticeably smaller than those of the beams not subjected to temperature history of two stage construction. The difference is explained by the stress due to heat of hydration. Keywords: Effective Elastic Modulus, Heat of Hydration, Numerical Simulation, Structural Members (Two-stage Constructed Beams).
