1.

Explain the mechanism of shrinkage and the factors affecting the same.

Answer»

Answer:

Creep is time DEPENDENT deformations of CONCRETE under PERMANENT loads (self weight), PT forces and permanent displacement.  When concrete is SUBJECTED to compressive loading it deforms instantaneously.This immediate deformation is called instantaneous STRAIN. Now, if the load is maintained for a considerable period of time, concrete undergoes additional deformations even without any increase in the load.This time-dependent strain is termed as creep
