Calculation of Creep and Shrinkage

Shrinkage Strain
Garde of Concrete 40
Total Shrinkage strain ecs = ecd + eca
ecd = drying shrinkage strain
eca = Autogenous shrinkage strain
Autogenous Shrinkage strain eca = 4.5E-05 From Table 6.6 of IRC:112
The development of autogenous shrinkage with time can be taken as
eca (t) = bas (t) x e ca
bas (t) = 1 - exp (-0.2*sqrt(t))
bas (t) = 0.526845 14 days
bas (t) = 0.653 28 days
bas (t) = 1 25550 days

eca (t) 14 days = 0.0000237

eca (t) 28 days = 0.0000294
eca (t) 25550 days = 0.0000450

Relative Humidity = 50
e
Drying Shrinkage strai cd For M40 = 0.00047 From Table 6.8 of IRC:112
The development of drying shrinkage with time can be taken as
ecd (t) = bds (t,ts) x kh x e cd
bds (t,ts) = (t-ts)/(t-ts)+0.04 x SQRT(ho^3)
ho = 2 x Ac/u
Ac = Concrete Cross sectional area = 1.469022 m2
u = perimeter which is exposed to drying = 4.974 m
ho 2 x Ac/u = 590.6803 mm
kh = 0.70 From Table 6.7 of IRC:112
End of curing = 7 days
bds (t,ts) 14 days = 0.012043
bds (t,ts) 28 days = 0.03528

ecd (t) = bds (t,ts) x kh x e cd 14 days = 0.0000039

ecd (t) = bds (t,ts) x kh x e cd 28 days = 0.0000115
ecd (infinty)= kh x e cd = 0.00033

Total Shrinkage strain ecs 14 days = 0.000028

28 days = 0.000041
25550 days = 0.000371

Residual Shrinkage at 28 days

Creep Strain
Creep strain of concrete = f x sc/Ec
where f = creep coefficient (calculated as per IRC-112)
sc = constant Compressive stress applied to the concrete at time t
 Ec = Modulus of Elasticity of concrete

Compressive stress at CG of the tendons at transfer stage =

Compressive stress at CG of the tendons after application of SIDL =
Comp stress at CG of the tendons after application of LL (losses upto infinity) =
Modulus of Elasticity of Concrete =

Calculation of Creep Coefficient

The development of creep with time may be taken as

f (t,to) = b (t,to) x f (inf,to)
where
b (t,to) = ((t - to)/(bH+(t-to)))^0.3
t is the age of the concrete in days at the time considered
to is the age of the concrete in days at time of loading = 14 days
(t - to) is the actual duration of loading in days
bH is a coefficient depending on the relative humidity ( RH in percent) and the notional member size (h
bH = 1.5 x (1+(1.2 x RH/RHo)^18) x ho+250 <= 1500 for fcm <=45
bH = 1.5 x (1+(1.2 x RH/RHo)^18) x ho+250 a<= 1500a for fcm >=45
fcm = 55
a = SQRT(40/fcm) = 0.852803
Grade of concrete = M40
bH = 1099.311

f (inf,to) = 1.5
b (t,to) = for 28 days = 0.269062663118214
42 days = 0.330
90 days = 0.440
f (t,to) = 28 days = 0.403593994677321
42 days = 0.495
90 days = 0.660
