Abstract

This paper presents results from creep and shrinkage tests performed on different High Strength Concrete (HSC) mixes (with compressive strengths up to 90 MPa). Results were compared with those from various Code prediction models. The effects of pozzolanic materials on the creep and shrinkage were also investigated. Results show that while fly ash increases the compressive creep of concrete, silica fume decreases it. Moreover, current creep and shrinkage prediction models need to be revised for the HSC mixture.
