| Description: | Miscellaneous paper Abstract: A brief search of literature on creep in tension, creep rate, and superposition was made with a view to isolating factors which might have a bearing on stress computation. Factors to be considered are statistical variation in creep data, failure of laboratory data to represent structural concrete, and other inadequacies such as an insufficient quantity of creep data. Creep in tension is not necessarily equal to creep in compression, and creep is not known always to be proportional to stress; creep may be less under multiaxial stress than it is under uniaxial stress. Various other factors are discussed. Most of the current research is centered about learning the nature of the mechanism of creep, a better understanding of which might lead to improved stress analysis. A new approach to the obtaining of creep data might be to compute creep of concrete from creep of paste and modulus of elasticity of aggregate. |
