Research on Mechanism of Concrete Creep

Article Preview

Abstract:

Under sustained loads with a fixed value, the deformation of concrete will continue to increase as time increases; this phenomenon is called creep of concrete. Currently, there are several theories to explain the phenomenon of concrete creep, viscoelasticity theory, seepage theory, viscous flow theory, plastic flow theory, micro-fractures theory and internal forces balance theory. Above models mostly studied linear creep of concrete under low stress status. This paper mainly research on concrete creep mechanism, and pointed out the advantages and limitations of the various theories, which has a guiding significance for theoretical research.
