CONCRETE CREEPS INTO THE FUTURE. CONCRETE: YESTERDAY, TODAY & TOMORROW

The extent to which creep is taken into account in structural design in increasing, particularly is high-rise buildings, cantilever bridges, and those with long spans or high piers, and prestressed concrete. The design of these structures will require the ability to estimate the magnitude of creep and the knowledge of fators that influence it. The importance of prediction models in this area is discussed in this article. New models that account for the aggregate properties as well as the other ingredients of concrete and of their porportions are needed. Emphasis is placed on the desingers ability to distinguish between the structures which require a sophisticated treatment of creep and those which do not, as well as those in-between.
