3 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is creep in concrete?
Think about how concrete behaves when pressure is continuously applied.
What are the three types of creep?
Recall the conditions under which each type occurs.
What is the primary cause of creep in concrete?
Consider what keeps concrete deforming over time.
True or False: Creep affects the long-term serviceability of concrete structures.
Think about the longevity of structures.
A concrete structure is initially designed with a load inducing 25% of its tensile capacity. Discuss how the creep behavior will differ if the load were increased to 60% instead, and explain the implications for long-term design.
Think about the relationship between stress and creep.
In a project with high-strength concrete, if the dimensions are the same but the water-cement ratio is increased, predict the impact on creep. Provide evidence to support your answer based on creep phenomena.
Consider how material composition affects creep characteristics.
