Experimental study of a macrocrack propagation in a concrete specimen subjected to creep loading

Structures managers need a better prediction of the delayed failure of concrete structures, especially for very important structures like nuclear power plant encasement. Sustained loadings at high level (above 75% of loading capacity of the structure), can lead to structure failure after some time....
