Process map for casting a long-term experimental campaign on RC shrinkage cracking.
Description
This dataset presents the process map that was developed for the casting of a long-term experimental campaign on reinforced concrete (RC) slabs subjected to the combined effect of restrained shrinkage and vertical loads.
This experimental campaign was performed in the scope of the FCT project "IntegraCrete: A comprehensive multi-physics and multi-scale approach to the combined effects of applied loads and thermal/shrinkage deformations in reinforced concrete structures''.
The results from this experimental campaign are presented in Gomes et al (2020), while the conceptualization, planning and experimental procedures are described in detail in Gomes et al (2021). The latter is supported by this process map to describe the micromanagement plan that was devised for the casting day.
14 people were involved in the casting of 3 slabs and 2 complementary specimens inside a highly instrumented climatic chamber, as well as 38 specimens for concrete characterization at different ages and 12 load blocks to use as vertical loads. This process map was developed with the standard Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN).
