Comparison of Prediction Methods for Creep

Various methods to predict creep coefficients of concrete have been compared with each other and with experimental data. Some of the results of these studies are given in [23J Part (B). They are summarized in the following. The following methods have been analyzed: (1) The method proposed by Bažant-Panula (BP), Part B [34J]; (2) The method proposed by CEB-1970 (CEB-70), Part B [44]; (3) The method given in the CEB/FIP model code 1978 (CEB-78); (4) The Rusch – Jungwirth method (RJ), Part B [46]; (5) The method proposed by the British Concrete Society (BCS), Part B [47]; (6) The ACI 209 method (ACI), Part B [50].
