| Shrinkage and creep of concrete are time-dependent volume changes that can cause stresses, cracking and excessive deflection which profoundly affect the properties of concrete as a structural material. In this study, various prediction methods for shrinkage and creep of concrete are compared with the RILEM experimental data bank and evaluated by various statistical methods. This study reveals that the B3 model and the GZ model performed best for shrinkage strain, while the CEB 90 code model followed by the B3 model performed best for creep strain. |
