Original Abstract

Evolution of creep and shrinkage models for concrete structures in Austria and Germany - Evaluation of the current models regarding the sensitivity of the input parameter Concrete is one of the most important materials in civil engineering structures and finds its application in the building of bridges, ground engineering and building construction. As widely known, concrete is a material which changes its behavior with time in dependency of the environmental conditions. Especially the long-term deformations caused by creep and shrinkage processes are of great interest regarding the durability and sustainability of infrastructures. Early versions of design codes gave some guidelines on how to treat deformations caused by these sources. In the beginning, these deformations were taken into account by an additional temperature drop. The first sophisticated approaches on how to deal with these long-term processes were published in the standards for prestressed concrete structures. These early models were updated and improved to today's prevailing documents such as the Eurocode 2 and the fib Model Code. The first part of this paper gives an overview of the historical development of creep and shrinkage models in Austria and Germany until today's guidelines. The second part presents a sensitivity study of the current models regarding the input parameters for some given scenarios. Lastly, the differences between the models are highlighted based on an application example taken from literature.
