Experimental Research on Concrete Shrinkage and Creep for Main Girder of Sutong Continuous Rigid-Frame Bridge
In order to obtain shrinkage and creep of HPC used in Sutong continuous rigid-frame bridge, shrinkage and creep of plain concrete and RC are investigated under natural environment over two years. Reinforcement ratio 0.76% is close to that of the middle span. Loading stress of creep test is about 15 MPa, which is near the maximum stress of the bridge. Four loading ages, 7d, 14d, 21d and 28d, were used to simulate different loading ages in construction. The curves of creep and shrinkage were fitted from test values. The results show the test values of creep and shrinkage were less than the current Chinese bridge code JTG D62-2004, and the creep and shrinkage of RC is less than plain concrete. If the reinforcement ratio is low, reinforcement exerts less influence on creep and shrinkage, and the influence of reinforcement can be neglected in engineering application. Reinforcement can effectively reduce creep and shrinkage if the reinforcement ratio is high.
