Creep strains on reinforced concrete columns

A concrete element when kept under sustained load presents progressive strain over time, associated to the creep. In reinforced concrete columns, such deformations cause the stress increase in the steel bars of the reinforcement and may induce the material to undergo the yielding phenomenon. The pio...
