This page provides various supplementary resources related to a book on concrete creep and shrinkage published by Springer in January 2018.

Zdeněk P. Bažant and Milan Jirásek: Creep and Hygrothermal Effects in Concrete Structures

The book can be ordered via http://www.springer.com/in/book/9789402411362. It is already available as an eBook, the printed hardcover version will become available on 16 February 2018. Here is the table of contents: File:Creep contents final.pdf

Calibration and validation of creep and shrinkage models requires comprehensive data sets covering sufficiently long loading and drying time periods. So far the largest collection of creep and shrinkage laboratory data and multi-decade structural observations has been compiled at Northwestern University. It is freely available from the following sites:

• web site of Prof. Zdeněk P. Bažant at Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois

download creep and shrinkage database (version 2017-01-23)

download bridge deflection database (version 2013-11-27)

Evaluation of creep compliances and shrinkage strains based on advanced models can be facilitated by various tools:

• Model B3 creep design aid program for matlab
• simple interactive tool by Jan Stránský (Czech Technical University in Prague, Czech Republic)
