Long-term behavior of reinforced concrete structures under random variable loads

Funding

Short abstract

A major part of creep investigations is performed under permanent sustained loads. Nevertheless, a considerable number of structures, in addition to permanent, are also exposed to variable load with significant intensity and duration (e.g. road and railway city bridges, parking garages, warehouses etc.). Therefore, tests including frequently repeating, but still long-term loads, are of practical interest. This project deals with a multi-scale experimental investigation of the concrete phenomenon to creep and to recover under time-varying load histories.
