A STUDY OF THE RELATION BETWEEN CREEP AND THE GAIN OF STRENGTH OF CONCRETE
THE RELATION BETWEEN CREEP AND STRESS-STRENGTH RATIO AT THE TIME OF LOADING IS EXTENDED TO INCLUDE THE INFLUENCE OF THE STRENGTH OF CONCRETE AT ANY TIME UNDER LOAD. IN PARTICULAR, CREEP IS SHOWN TO BE A FUNCTION OF THE FRACTIONAL INCREASE IN STRENGTH WHILE THE CONCRETE IS UNDER LOAD. THE RELATIVE CREEP IS SHOWN TO BE A FUNCTION OF THE RELATIVE STRENGTH INCREASE, SO THAT THE RATE AT WHICH THE ULTIMATE CREEP OF ANY CONCRETE IS APPROACHED CAN BE ESTIMATED FROM THE STRENGTH-TIME CURVE. QUANTITATIVE RELATIONS BETWEEN CREEP AND THE STRENGTH-TIME CHARACTERISTICS OF CONCRETE ARE DERIVED. THESE RELATIONS HAVE BEEN VERIFIED FOR TESTS IN WHICH THE STRESS-STRENGTH RATIO WAS MAINTAINED CONSTANT AS WELL AS FOR THE CONVENTIONAL CONSTANT STRESS TESTS.
