The paper is dedicated to develop an efficient methodology that assess and segregate the creep, instantaneous and shrinkage strains on small scale: concrete cylindrical specimens …
Today research on creep and shrinkage of concrete is diversified to such a degree that specialists working in different areas sometimes find it difficult to understand one-another …
The creep of concrete is one of the main problems threatening concrete structural development and the stability and safety of structures. However, the nonlinear theory is the …
The experimental and theoretical studies show that the influence of loading rate on tensile behavior of concrete is relatively strong. Dynamic tensile resistance of concrete is difficult to …

Subcommittee 4 of RILEM TC 107-CSP has established recommendations for shrinkage and creep tests. These recommendations are based on physical and mechanical analysis of …
Predicting creep in concrete structures is still highly uncertain, with current models for creep in cement concrete differing in their accuracy and complexity. As high strength concrete is of …
The theory of concrete creep and shrinkage has not been regarded as part of what has been understood as damage mechanics. However, these inelastic phenomena do result in …

Under sustained loads with a fixed value, the deformation of concrete will continue to increase as time increases; this phenomenon is called creep of concrete. Currently, there …
