Abstract:The aim of the presentworkis to study the viscoelastic model of Borassus Aethiopum Mart whichis relevant for the characterisation of a Borassus Pre-stressedConcretebeam. Mechanical tests werecarried out mainly the creep test on typical Borassus Aethiopum Mart specimensfrom the Pahou-Ahozon forestgallery in southern Benin, Africa, subjected to a constant bending stress along the beam. The moisture content of the specimensis set at 12% and isobtained by kilndrying at ATC du Bois. The loadinglevel of the specimen… Show more
