The paper presents the results of experimental testing of reinforced concrete rectangular slab under long-term load and unload. The slab is freely supported at corners. Reinforcement is placed in the bottom and upper zone, different in each direction. The slab was subjected to high long-term load for a year. Afterwards, it was unloaded. Slab displacements at different points have been monitored throughout the year and a half, as well as concrete and reinforcement strains at several measuring points.Keywords
