What is the effect of Creep in Concrete?
Depending on the construction material, structural design, and service conditions, creep can result in significant displacements in a structure. Severe creep strains can result in serviceability problems, stress redistribution, prestress loss, and even failure of structural elements.
How to Calculate Instantaneous Strain given Cc?
Instantaneous Strain given Cc calculator uses Instantaneous Strain = Total Strain/Creep Coefficient to calculate the Instantaneous Strain, The Instantaneous Strain given Cc is defined as strain caused immediately after application of stress. Instantaneous Strain is denoted by δi symbol.
How to calculate Instantaneous Strain given Cc using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Instantaneous Strain given Cc, enter Total Strain (δt) & Creep Coefficient (Φ) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Instantaneous Strain given Cc calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.125 = 0.2/1.6.
