CREEP AS A FACTOR IN THE DESIGN OF STRUCTURES

DAS KRIECHEN BETRACHTET VON DER SEITE DER BAUPLANUNG

In the development of creep models it is useful to neglect the phenomenon of creep recovery, which occurs after unloading. This assumption implies that concrete has no memory and that the deformations caused by creep are completely irreversible. In this way the solution of creep problems can be reduced to the form of differential equations, which is quite suitable from the point of view of computation.
