TESTING FOR CONCRETE CREEP AND SHRINKAGE
This paper summarizes most of the aspects and details related to testing for creep and shrinkage in concrete. The experimental determination of concrete creep and shrinkage is discussed in detail, analyzing each of the conditions likely to be encountered during planning, testing and reporting test data. The subjects discussed are: objectives of test programs, test concepts, assumptions, designing a test program, standard test methods for creep and shrinkage, test specimens, equipment for measuring deformations, concrete mixing, batching and preparation of test specimens, testing environments, temperature and humidity tolerances, deformation measurement schedule, documentation and interpretation of test results. Test programs are presented in detail.
