Abstract:
SP27 Much has been written on the damaging failures resultingfrom designs without adequate provision for the effects of creep, shrinkage and temperature, The object of this symposium volume is to combine the laboratory and actual field experience into a working procedure for estimating the effects of volumetric changes. By comparing the experiences of researches and design engineers this publication aims for an eventual mathematical procedure that could be as well agreed upon as movement distribution.

For the rate-type creep law of concrete (Eq. 1), the general problem of creep analysis is converted to a sequence of elasticity problems with intial strains. It is shown how this general method can be applied to the analysis of composite beams. The method is demostrated by a numerical example. It is found that statical indeterminancy of supports significantly alters the effects of shrinkage in composite beams.

Data on creep of concrete subjected to various loadings at elevated temperatures rang 200F (93.3C) to 800f (426.8C) are presented, together with the informations of specimens failure in test. Compressive strength and thermal expansion coefficient of concrete in this temperature range are also provided. Relationships between creep, stress strength ration and time under loading are shown in curves.

SP27-20
To determine the internal forces induced by shrinkage in restrained elements or structures whose free shrinkage in the unrestrained state is known, it is necessary to take into account the creep properties and their dependence on age of concrete. The problem leads to an integral equation which has been solved by computer for various typical values of material characteristics. Graphs were then constructed from which the effect of shrinkage can be determined.

SP27-21
Creep, shrinkage and delayed thermal dilatation of concrete at low stress are caused by mass transport of water and other molecules along thin layers in the microstructures. The theory of the consitutive equation based on this mechanism is summarized and, as an example, a plausible explanation of the phenomenon of drying creep is presented.
