Abstract
The purpose of the present work is to analyse the tensile strength development of early age concrete by numerical and experimental means. The one-dimensional tensile strength is needed when the development and distribution of stresses in the early age are considered. The stresses are used to predict the risk of harmful cracking which may affect the durability of the concrete structure. The early age is characterised by chemical reactions between cement particles and moisture giving the strength development, and the reactions are termed the hydration process.
