During the cement hydration, shrinkage may cause cracking if cement is externally restrained although stress relaxation compromise this shrinkage stress. I'm wondering if software or program can be used to analyse cement shrinkage and creep at early stage of hydration?
Thanks in advance for your discussions.
Thanks, Farhad. I think I did't make my question clear enough.
I want to model the initial stress caused by chemical shrinkage when cement hardens from slurry to solid. For example, cement slurry is poured into a steel cylinder and starts to hydration, how about the initial stress when it becomes hardened? As this is a chemical process, I'm not aware that Abaqus can do the work.
Please let me know if you have any ideas. Thanks.

CEMHYD3D material model in the transport problemtype of ATENA-GID is the best option.
I have not been able to access the program through the older NIST FTP links, as they appear to be no longer functional. I would be very grateful if you could kindly guide me on the current way to obtain or access the CEMHYD3D software package (v2.0/v3.0).
Your guidance will be extremely valuable in helping me advance the simulation component of my PhD research. Senthil Kumar Kaliyavaradhan
