Regardless of the methodology adopted by each laboratory, there is a consensus about the three main stages in the creep testing procedure: the pre-cracking stage, the creep stage and the post-creep stage. Despite this general procedure, four main methodologies were conducted in fibre-reinforced concrete (FRC) specimens in the round-robin test (RRT): flexure creep test on prismatic specimens based on EN 14651, direct tension creep test, flexure creep test on square panels based on EN 14488-5 and flexure creep test on round panels based on ASTM C1550. An overview of these four main methodologies is described in the following subsections. All the procedures defined by each participant were grouped by methodology and compared in terms of configuration, equipment and measurement devices.

Abstract
Regardless of the methodology adopted by each laboratory, there is a consensus about the three main stages in the creep testing procedure: the pre-cracking stage, the creep stage and the post-creep stage. Despite this general procedure, four main methodologies were conducted in fibre-reinforced concrete (FRC) specimens in the round-robin test (RRT): flexure creep test on prismatic specimens based on EN 14651, direct tension creep test, flexure creep test on square panels based on EN 14488-5 and flexure creep test on round panels based on ASTM C1550. An overview of these four main methodologies is described in the following subsections. All the procedures defined by each participant were grouped by methodology and compared in terms of configuration, equipment and measurement devices.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
