Summary: | This paper aims to evaluate the CEB-FIP 90 model, which is commonly utilised to predict the creep and
shrinkage effects of concrete structures, by comparing it with an extensive compiled database which
combines the available data in literature and newly collected data from China. This database considers
only concrete specimens with an average 28-day compressive strength between 30 MPa and 80 MPa,
and restricts the relative humidity of the experimental environment to a maximum value of 95%. Three
statistical methods are applied to evaluate the CEB-FIP 90 model: the residual method, the B3 coefficient
of variation method, and the CEB coefficient of variation method. Based on the statistical regression analysis
of the shrinkage and creep test data, the CEB-FIP 90 model is revised by modifying the influencing
coefficients of the compressive strength of concrete and the time development functions of creep and
shrinkage. The modified model is then subjected to evaluation and verification using the residual method,
B3 coefficient of variation method and CEB coefficient of variation method. Based on verification with
experimental data and corroboration with statistical analysis, the modified model performs better than
CEB-FIP 90 model, especially with regards to high strength concrete. |
