Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A concrete structure experiences a constant load of 50 MPa. If the creep compliance at 10 years is found to be J(10, 0) = 0.015, calculate the expected total strain after 10 years.
💡 Hint: Remember to use the formula for total strain.
Compare the applicability of the Maxwell and Kelvin-Voigt models for short-term versus long-term predictions of concrete behavior and provide examples of when each would be most applicable.
💡 Hint: Think about time frames and responses to loads.
