Q: Effect of Creep is:
  • A. Decrease in deflection of beam and slab
  • B. Increase in deflection of beam and slab
  • C. No loss in pre stress
  • D. Sudden transfer of load from concrete to reinforcing steel
Correct Answer: Option B - Effect of creep is increase in deflection of beam and slab. Creep of concrete– The permanent dimensional changes that take place due to loading is termed as creep. The creep of concrete depends upon– (i) Constituents of concrete (ii) Size of the member (iii) Environmental conditions (iv) Stress in the concrete (v) Age of concrete at loading (vi) duration of loading
