Creep Coefficient in European Code Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Creep Coefficient = Total Strain/Instantaneous Strain
Φ = δ_t/δ_i
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Creep Coefficient - Creep Coefficient is the ratio of Creep strain to elastic strain.
Total Strain - Total Strain is the strain caused due to long living load and impact load or termed as total of instantaneous and creep strain.
Instantaneous Strain - Instantaneous Strain is the strain caused immediately after the application of stress.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Total Strain: 0.2 --> No Conversion Required
Instantaneous Strain: 0.125 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Φ = δ_t/δ_i --> 0.2/0.125

Empirical Formula for Secant Modulus using ACI Code Provisions

Go Secant Modulus = Unit Weight of Material^1.5*33*sqrt(Cylinder Strength)

Total Strain given Creep Coefficient

Go Total Strain = Instantaneous Strain*Creep Coefficient

Creep Coefficient in European Code

Go Creep Coefficient = Total Strain/Instantaneous Strain

Instantaneous Strain given Cc

Go Instantaneous Strain = Total Strain/Creep Coefficient

Total Strain

Go Total Strain = Instantaneous Strain+Creep Strain

Empirical Formula for Secant Modulus Proposed by Jensen

Go Secant Modulus = (6*10^6)/(1+(2000/Cylinder Strength))

Empirical Formula for Secant Modulus Proposed by Hognestad in ACI Code

Go Secant Modulus = 1800000+(460*Cylinder Strength)

Creep Coefficient in European Code Formula

Creep Coefficient = Total Strain/Instantaneous Strain
Φ = δ_t/δ_i

What is Creep?

In materials science, creep (sometimes called cold flow) is the tendency of a solid material to move slowly or deform permanently under the influence of persistent mechanical stresses or time-dependent deformation due to sustained load.

Why does Concrete Creep Occur?

Creep is defined as the long term deformation under a sustained load. Water within the hardened cement paste is forced to more as a result of the applied load. This movement of moisture is the primary cause of creep deformation. Some movement also occurs due to the propagation of microcracks.

How to Calculate Creep Coefficient in European Code?

Creep Coefficient in European Code calculator uses Creep Coefficient = Total Strain/Instantaneous Strain to calculate the Creep Coefficient, The Creep Coefficient in European Code is defined as the ratio of total strain(instantaneous +creep strain) to the instantaneous strain. Creep Coefficient is denoted by Φ symbol.

How to calculate Creep Coefficient in European Code using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Creep Coefficient in European Code, enter Total Strain (δ_t) & Instantaneous Strain (δ_i) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Creep Coefficient in European Code calculation can be explained with given input values -> 2 = 0.2/0.125.
