Abstract: Elastic creep theory is used herein to investigate the characteristics of the loading and unloading creep of hydraulic concrete in water. First, tensile and compressive loading and unloading creep tests were designed for ...

Abstract: Concrete creep is related to not only loading age and holding time but also curing temperature and humidity. To investigate the influences of curing temperature and humidity on creep performance, tensile creep tests of ...

Abstract: Gradual creep recovery manifests when a concrete specimen that has been subjected to a sustained stress is unloaded. Although creep and creep recovery are important properties of concrete, there is little research on the ...

Abstract: A newly built roller-compacted concrete gravity dam is located on the Yalongjiang River in southwest China. Complex geological conditions greatly puzzled the designers of the project. There are abundant joints within the ...
