Abstract
A finite element model for the study of the creep, shrinkage and tensile stiffness between cracks effects in partially prestressed continuous composite beams with deformable shear connections is proposed in this paper. The algorithm used is very general and allows the adoption of an arbitrary viscous law expressed in integral form and any load history. By means of simple numerical comparisons, the potentials of the proposed formulation are shown. This model, due to its simplicity, can be easy implemented in an analytical program.
