Specifies procedures for determining the creep of standard concrete test cylinders subjected to a sustained longitudinal compressive load.
Scope
This Standard describes the procedure for determining the creep of standard concrete test cylinders subjected to a sustained longitudinal compressive load. This method does not provide means for calculating time-dependent deflection of reinforced or prestressed concrete members.
NOTE: The conditions for curing and storage (see Clause 6) can be varied to suit different requirements, e.g. early pre-stress. The time of loading (see Clause 7) can also be varied to give an indication of other properties. These variations, however, will not comply with the requirements for a creep test as specified in this Standard.
