Experimental studies to determine the deformation properties of concretes under prolonged loading on materials from Vietnam
Incoming article date: 20.02.2024This article is devoted to determining the main characteristics and properties of concretes made from different concrete mixtures based on Vietnamese materials. A total of 16 formulas of concrete mixtures were studied. Concrete samples were tested to determine deformations under prolonged loading. Based on the data obtained, the main creep characteristics were determined, these are the creep measure C0 and the creep coefficient ϕ, as well as additional characteristics including prismatic strength and the initial modulus of elasticity of concrete. The main purpose of this study was to determine the dependencies of the prismatic strength of concrete Rpr, as its main indicator, in relation to the creep coefficient of concrete ϕ. In conclusion, experimental data on the creep coefficients of concrete ϕ were compared with the normative values found according to SP 63.13330 and conclusions were drawn on the effect of concrete creep on its prismatic strength of concrete Rpr made from concrete.
