Experimental study of uniaxial tensile creep of concrete
In order to predict the tightness of nuclear power plants (PWR) in the case of an accident, an experimental study of tensile creep in concrete has been performed for different loading levels (50 %, 70 % and 90 % of the tensile strength). In these tests, load was kept constant during three days. Results show a decrease of residual tensile strength if concrete dries during the creep test. Tensile basic creep compliance is found to be lower than the compressive one, however the tensile drying creep compliance seems to be the same (as for the compressive one). Moreover, linearity between drying creep compliance and drying shrinkage, observed by several authors in compression, is also retrieved in tension.
