SYNOPSISIt is shown that, in comparison with a static stress, cyclic loading accelerates the non-elastic deformation of concrete. The resulting creep can be expressed as the sum of a mean-stress component and of a component which is dependent both upon the range of stress and upon the value of the mean stress.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
