Analysis of Properties and Influence Factors About Compressive Creep of Concrete

Abstract

Creep is one of important objects in concrete studies. As the creep research progresses, the change of creep of concrete under different conditions becomes an important topic. Therefore, this study explores the variation trends on creep of concretes in various stress, time and temperature by data collection and contrastive analysis. Some important properties of compressive creep in concretes were obtained. To be more specific, if one of compressive stress, time and temperature grows or reduces in the stationary condition, the creep will increase or decreases correspondingly. In other words, the changes of creep in concretes are synchronous with the three factors, but the magnitudes of variation are different (non-linear). Therefore, the engineers and other workers can control the creep by rising the compressive load carrying capacity, regularly inspecting components, and avoiding fires. This study can provide valuable information and properties of compressive creep in concretes and help the designers easily use the right materials. Finally, the study offers some new topics that can be explored by other researches as targets.
