Total Strain Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Total Strain = Instantaneous Strain+Creep Strain
δt = δi+δc
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
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.
Creep Strain - Creep Strain is the strain caused due to the persistent load on the member or building.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Instantaneous Strain: 0.125 --> No Conversion Required
Creep Strain: 0.5 --> No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
δt = δic --> 0.125+0.5
Evaluating ... ...
δt = 0.625
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
0.625 --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
0.625 <-- Total Strain
(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

Total Strain Formula

Total Strain = Instantaneous Strain+Creep Strain
δt = δi+δc

What are the factors that affect Creep?

The Other factors affecting creep include type of cement, amount of cement paste, size and shape of concrete, amount of reinforcement (rebar), volume-to-surface ratio, temperature, and humidity.

How to Calculate Total Strain?

Total Strain calculator uses Total Strain = Instantaneous Strain+Creep Strain to calculate the Total Strain, The Total Strain is defined as the addition of both instantaneous and creep strain. Instantaneous strain is caused immediately after the application of stress. Creep strain is caused due to the long lasting or sustained loads. Total Strain is denoted by δt symbol.

How to calculate Total Strain using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Total Strain, enter Instantaneous Strain i) & Creep Strain c) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Total Strain calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.6 = 0.125+0.5.

FAQ

What is Total Strain?
The Total Strain is defined as the addition of both instantaneous and creep strain. Instantaneous strain is caused immediately after the application of stress. Creep strain is caused due to the long lasting or sustained loads and is represented as δt = δic or Total Strain = Instantaneous Strain+Creep Strain. Instantaneous Strain is the strain caused immediately after the application of stress & Creep Strain is the strain caused due to the persistent load on the member or building.
How to calculate Total Strain?
The Total Strain is defined as the addition of both instantaneous and creep strain. Instantaneous strain is caused immediately after the application of stress. Creep strain is caused due to the long lasting or sustained loads is calculated using Total Strain = Instantaneous Strain+Creep Strain. To calculate Total Strain, you need Instantaneous Strain i) & Creep Strain c). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Instantaneous Strain & Creep Strain and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
How many ways are there to calculate Total Strain?
In this formula, Total Strain uses Instantaneous Strain & Creep Strain. We can use 1 other way(s) to calculate the same, which is/are as follows -
  • Total Strain = Instantaneous Strain*Creep Coefficient
