Mechanisms of Creep and Shrinkage
•Creep
It is a complex process involving slipping of surfaces
past one another within the structure of C-S-H. It is a function
of pore structure and ease of slippage of C-S-H particles. As
the space between particles becomes less and less the degree
of creep becomes less and less.
•Drying Shrinkage
Moisture loss is driven by the ambient relative humidity.
As moisture escapes from the capillaries, menisci are created and
capillary stresses are developed. As more moisture is evaporated,
smaller and smaller menisci are created. This action creates stress
and causes slippage between C-S-H particles.
ACI Committee 209 Method
This method is based upon a method proposed by Branson
and Christiason (2.3) and was developed by ACI Committee 209
(2.4) In 1982, ACI Special Publication 76 (2.5) gives an updated
but not significantly changed version of this method.
This method uses the
creep strain
t
elastic strain at the time of loading
as the creep coefficient.
Shrinkage – ACI

curing is
