Hi,

It will be essential to know the equations of the graph.  Are they published in the code?

Software called PlotDigitizer can read the graph and turn it into a series of known points

which can then be plotted.

Cheers

Terry

Hi,
I was unable to locate any equations for these curves in Eurocode, which has left me unsure how to proceed with drawing them. Nonetheless, I appreciate your response.

Here's an attempt to model the left part of the graph, on the basis of expressions in Appendix B of the Eurocode.

As you can see, I'm not an expert on the matter. But maybe it can be of help to you.

 

Success!

    On a side note:

    It's interesting, if not utterly intriguing, to see the the vertical scales of the two graphs are completely different.

    The scale of the left graph is log, from 1 to 100 (or the other way 'round, if you like that better). The (unlabelled) scale of the right graph is linear and in 7 divisions.

    🤔 !

      Nice, and close to the (original) graph that the OP showed.

      The original graph contains 3 curves, one each for S, N and R (for different classes of cement). The blue line is a straight line through (0,100) and the point where the red line (for a chosen t0), crosses one of the three curves (corresponding to the cement class). For values of t0 >100, the blue line should be the tangent line at the point (0,100).

      Next you choose an h0 value and follow the red and purple lines (depends on the type of concrete, I guess) until the crossing with the blue line, then down to find the corresponding value of phi.

      But I think that NM_10165576 can explain this better.
