Modifications to the concrete shrinkage and creep models
Abstract
The concrete shrinkage test results obtained in five research programs are compared with the results obtained through analysis according to two models (Eurocode 2 and B3). The comparisons show that the values obtained according to models greatly deviate from those obtained by testing. A coefficient is proposed as a means to increase accuracy of the EC 2 model, so that it can be used to anticipate shrinkage of the high-strength concrete. The model for anticipating the concrete creep coefficient is also analyzed.
