Moisture Diffusion in Concrete and Mechanisms of Drying Creep
The Pickett effect is the excess of creep at drying over the sum of shrinkage and basic creep. Several theoretical models have been presented to speculate on the mechanisms of this effect,...
A Time-Dependent Microplane Model for Creep of Cohesive Soils
The microplane model is used in this paper to describe the time-dependent (creep) behavior of cohesive soils (clays). The constitutive equations are defined on each of a set of microplanes...
Probabilistic Prediction of Creep and Shrinkage in Concrete Structures: Combined Sampling and Spectral Approach
Rate Effects in the Deformation of Rocks
This paper gives a brief review of creep and rate effects on the behavior of rocks, within a wide range of confining pressures and temperatures, and with a special emphasis on the physical...
Creep of Polycrystalline Ice
This paper discusses the extension of creep models for polycrystalline ice to include the effects of a non-monotonic loading history. Attention is focussed on cyclic loading since it is...
A Test Method to Evaluate Shrinkage Cracking of Concrete
The possibility of shrinkage for a given drying environment depends on the following factors: free shrinkage, creep, and age-dependent properties of concrete. A common way to account for...
Time-Dependent Behavior of FRP Lintels
This paper describes an experimental investigation into the short-term and long-term behaviors of two types of T-shaped lintels made of fiber-glass reinforced plastic with polyester or...
Strength, Durability and Creep of Fly-Ash Concrete: Part I
In this paper, strength of concretes and mortars containing various proportions of fly ash were examined. For strength tests four types of Canadian and one type of American ash were used...
Strength, Durability and Creep of Fly-Ash Concrete: Part II
Tests on sulphate durability of various plain and fly ash mortars soaked in pH-controlled sulphate solutions were performed. The performance of several types of ash have been examined,...
Sharp Cone Testing of Creep Properties of Frozen Soils and Ice
Long-Term Buckling of Composite Columns
A consistent theoretical study of the creep buckling behaviour of viscoelastic laminated columns is presented. The problem is treated by means of the quasi-elastic method. The analysis...
Creep in Precast Concrete Composite Girders
The German Design Method for Composite Columns with Regard to Creep and Shrinkage of Concrete
Prediction of Concrete Creep and Shrinkage by Sampling on the Basis of Correlated Random Material Parameters
There are many random parameters which influence creep and shrinkage of concrete. In all of the previous probabilistic studies the parameters are assumed to be mutually independent random...

Bearing Capacity Calculations for Piles in Permafrost
Small-scale model piles frozen in various soils were tested at constant rates of displacement and constant load. The derived values were used to calculate the maximum allowable stress...
Creep Modelling for Masonry under Plane Strain
A computational procedure based on the principle of superposition to estimate creep strains in composite masonry walls is developed and presented in this paper. This development is based...
