We present a new approach to the analysis of the decay of voltage V with time c after a current pulse has been applied to an electrochemical system. We show that a plot of -td V/dt is an approximation to the spectrum of relaxation times that characterize the decay of Vas a combination ofexponential

β¦ Synopsis
This article presents a new explanation of the physical mechanisms underlying the basic creep and relaxation of concrete. It is proposed that these two macroscopic mechanical behaviours are related to drying shdnkage, just like drying creep.

In this paper, a new concept of pore distribution is discussed and consequently a new approach to the determination of pore distribution by penetrating chlorides into concrete is proposed. This approach involves 1) accelerating chloride penetration into concrete specimens by applying an electrical f
The writer welcomes Dr Bazant's discussion particuarly since it makes it clear that the model described in the paper requires further amplification.
The primary purpose of the investigation conducted by the authors was to provide designers with some basis to estimate dynamic creep from static creep information. The authors do not disagree with the discussors' definitions of cyclic creep and fatigue as portrayed in their Ref. I. From the work co
