Creep, Concrete, Age of concrete, mix proportions, Reinforcement

This paper summarizes various aspects of the prediction of concrete creep to be discussed in respect to the age of concrete, mix proportion and Reinforcement. The creep of concrete, which originates from the calcium silicate hydrates (C-S-H) in the hardened Portland cement paste (which is the binder of mineral aggregates), is fundamentally different from the creep of metals and polymers. Unlike the creep of metals, it occurs at all stress levels and, within the service stress range, is linearly dependent on the stress if the pore water content is constant. Unlike the creep of polymers and metals, it exhibits multi-months aging, caused by chemical hardening due to hydration which stiffens the microstructure.
