In general, polymer concrete has more excellent mechanical properties and durability than Portland cement concrete, but very sensitive to heat and has large deformations. In this study, the long-term creep behaviors was predicted by the short-term creep test, and then the characteristic of creep of recycled-PET polymer concrete was defined by material and experimental variables. The error in the predicted long-term creep values is less than 5 percent for all polymer concrete systems. The filler carry out an important role to restrict the creep strains of recycled PET Polymer concrete. The creep strain and specific on using the $CaCO_3$ were less than using fly-ash. The creep increases with an increase in the applied stress, but not proportional the rate of stress increase ratio. The creep behavior of polymer concrete using recycled polyester resin is not a linear viscoelastic behavior.

암석은 외력하에서 탄성 및 점탄성적 변형거동을 보인다. 크리프 특성은 일정하중하에서 시간에 대한 암석의 변형으로 장기적인 지반거동을 예측할 수 있는 중요한 요소이며 암석의 점탄성적 성질을 반영한다. 포항지역에 분포하는 미고결 퇴적암인 이암을 대상으로 암석의 기본적인 물성, 역학적 특성 및 크리프 시험을 실시하였다. 일축압축강도의 40-70% 응력수준에서 순간탄성변형률은 하중의 증가에 대하여 선형적인 관계를 보였으며, 일차 크리프변형률은 시간경과에 대하여 로그함수로 적절히 설명되었다. 일차 크리프에서 이차 크리프로 진행하는 과정을 살피기 위하여 약 5일 이상의 시간이 필요하였으며 최종 크리프 변형에 의한 파괴시의 변형률은 약 0.01로 밝혀졌다.

본 논문에서는 점탄성 매트릭스와 탄성 강화입자로 구성된 복합재료의 크리프 거동예측을 미세역학 기반의 시뮬레이션을 통하여 수행하였다. 에폭시 고분자로 이루어진 복합재료의 경우 재료 특성상 탄성적 거동뿐 아니라 점성적 거동도 함께 발생하게 된다. 이렇듯 점탄성 거동을 보이는 재료의 경우 탄성만을 고려한 해석방법으로는 한계가 있으며 점성적인 특성 또한 고려되어야 한다. 점탄성 복합재료의 해석을 위해서 손상을 고려한 미세역학 기반의 해석 (Ju and Chen, 1994) 과 Mesquita and Coda (2002)의 근사식을 사용하였다. 이를 통해 구한 재료 물성은 복합재료의 크리프 거동예측을 위한 Kelvin-Voight (KV) 모델과 Standard Linear Solid (SLS) 모델에 적용되었다. 최종적으로 본 연구에서 제안한 손상을 고려한 점탄성 모델의 예측과 시험결과를 비교 수행하여 결과의 타당성을 검증하였다.

The time-dependent behaviour of rock is very important characteristics which can be utilized as basic input data for underground mine design or in predicting a long-term stability of underground rock mass structures. In this study, creep tests under uniaxial compression were carried out for the granite specimens sampled in Gagok Mine. Burgers model, Griggs and Singh creep laws were used to simulate the measured creep strain. Through comparing the measured creep behaviour with the approximated creep behaviors from Burgers model, Griggs and Singh creep laws, it is shown that Griggs creep law results in the best approximation of granite in Gagok Mine.

Internal or external restraint of concrete strain due to drying shrinkage and creep in concrete structures causes mechanical strain and becomes a source of persistent change in creep-causing stress conditions. Mathematical modeling to incorporate the persistent change of creep-inducing stress is generally achieved with consideration of the ages of concrete and concrete properties at the times of loadings, and stress history. This paper presents an incremental format of creep model based on parallel creep concept to depict the creep under time-varying stress history in developing creep strain. Laboratory experiments are carried out to validate the performance of the presented creep model. Typical creep phenomena are addressed through the comparisons between the measured and predicted creep strains.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the high temperature creep behavior of anisotropic Zr-2.4%Nb alloy which includes the hydride. To minimize the effect of the anisotropy and to achieve the bi-axial stress condition, SP creep test was performed using the Zr alloys which have the 50 ppm, 100 ppm and 200 ppm hydride. Each SP creep curve was obtained and compared. While the creep degradation of 50 ppm and 100 ppm hydride specimens was clearly found, the degradation of 200 ppm was not cleared. By the comparison of SP creep constant and stree exponent, this fact was confirmed. As the degradation of 50 ppm and 100 ppm hydride was processed, the SP creep constant was decreased and the stress exponet was increased. However, while the SP creep constant of 200 ppm hydride was decreased, the stree exponent was decreased. Finally, it was confirmed that the creep degradation of 200 ppm was not found. In conclusion, the hydride was the major parameter to control the hight temperature creep degradation of Zr alloy.

The accumulated deformation due to the undrained creep causes the general stability problem for the overall soil mass. In this study, the time-dependent constitutive equation, into which a damage law, modified cam clay model, and Perzyna's generalized viscous theory were incorporated, was derived microscopically. The model prediction agreed well with the experimental result including the case of the undrained creep rupture.

The creep of concrete structures caused by variable stresses is generally calculated by step-by-step method based on the superposition of creep function. Although most practical application is carried out by this linear assumption. significant deviations between predictions and experiments have been observed when unloading takes place, that is. stress is reduced. This shows that the superposition of creep function does not describe accurately the effect of sustained compressive preload. The main purpose of this study is to propose a creep analysis model which is expressed with both creep function and creep recovery function where increase or decrease of stress is repeated. In these two function method, the creep behavior is modelled by using linear creep law for loading and creep recovery law for unloading. To apply two function method to time analysis of concrete structures, the calculation method of creep strain increment under varying stress is proposed. The calculation results based on the present method correlates very well with test data, but the conventional superposition method exhibits large deviation from test results. This paper provides a more accurate method for the time dependent analysis of concrete structures subjected to varying stress, i.e. increasing or decreasing stress. The present method may be efficiently employed in the revision of future concrete codes.

External bonding of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets has been widely accepted as a popular method for strengthening of deteriorated RC structures. The long-term behavior of CFRP-strengthened RC structure is often affected by that of the interface between CFRP sheets and concrete. This study aims at applying a viscoelastic model to describe the creep behaviour of the adhesive layer bonding CFRP sheet to concrete, the CFRP-concrete interface. Reviews of available models on concrete creep behavior have been first carried out and then new FE analysis model is proposed. The proposed FE analysis model based on the maxwell model has been verified by previous experimental results. It is shown that the creep effect of interfacial adhesive layer is very important on the long-term behavior of concrete structures strengthened with CFRP.

Concrete structures show time-dependent behavior due to creep and shrinkage of concrete and the uncertainties of creep and shrinkage are very huge. To reduce uncertainties of creep and shrinkage, it is substantially necessary to perform the long-term creep and shrinkage tests, but actual construction process doesn't allow it due to the limited time. Even though the tests are performed in laboratory, the values obtained from the tests could be different from the actual values in construction site because of the different environment between the laboratory and construction site and the model uncertainty itself. It is difficult to predict the long-term behaviors of concrete structures properly if the assumed creep coefficient obtained from Codes or the results of experiments is different from the real characteristics of concrete creep. In this study, for predicting the long-term behavior, the creep coefficients in reinforced concrete beams are estimated using creep sensitivity analysis from the measured deflections with time. And estimated creep coefficients using creep models of ACI Committee 209 and CEB-FIP MC90 are compared.
