Calibration and validation of creep and shrinkage models require 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)
- web site of Dr. Roman Wendner at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna, Austria
- download creep and shrinkage database (version 2017-01-23)

Evaluation of the compliance function, relaxation function and shrinkage strains based on advanced models can be facilitated by various tools:
- Model B3 creep design aid program for matlab
