Total Strain Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Total Strain = Instantaneous Strain+Creep Strain
δ_t = δ_i+δ_c
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

δ_t = δ_i+δ_c --> 0.125+0.5

Evaluating ... ...

δ_t = 0.625

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.625 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.625 <-- Total Strain

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 δ_t symbol.

How to calculate Total Strain using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Total Strain, enter Instantaneous Strain (δ_i) & Creep Strain (δ_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 δ_t = δ_i+δ_c 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 (δ_i) & Creep Strain (δ_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
