Modeling Early Age Tensile Creep and Shrinkage of Concrete

Abstract

The paper discusses a study that considered constant load and incremental restrained load cases got measurement and modeling of early age tensile creep and shrinkage of concrete. The experimental program measured early age tensile creep and shrinkage and the results were used to develop suggestions for improving existing models. The experimental results showed good agreement for restrained creep deformation, indicating that they are valid for early age tensile creep in addition to mature compressive creep.
