1 Scope
This document describes the procedure for determining the creep (total creep, basic creep and drying
creep) of hardened concrete test specimens subjected to a sustained longitudinal compressive load.
The test is suitable for specimens having a declared value of D of the coarsest fraction of aggregates
actually used in the concrete (D ) not greater than 32 mm.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:
• IEC Electropedia: available at http://www.electropedia.org/
• ISO Online browsing platform: available at https://www.iso.org/obp
3.1
initial strain
strain measured immediately after the application of the test load on the specimen
3.2
creep
strain under constant load obtained in defined conditions of temperature and relative humidity
3.2.1
total creep
strain measured under constant load in defined conditions of temperature and relative humidity after
subtracting initial and shrinkage strain
3.2.2
basic creep
strain measured under constant load in isothermal conditions and in the absence of moisture exchange
between the specimen and the surrounding environment
3.2.3
drying creep
difference between total and basic creep
3.3
shrinkage strain
strain of specimens determined in accordance with EN 12390-16
3.4
total strain:

Note 1 to entry: Gauge length may be a straight line laying on the lateral surface of the specimen and parallel to
the principal axis or between two planes.

4 Principle
Test specimens are subject to changes in length when subjected to a constant compressive load in
defined conditions of temperature and relative humidity.
5 Apparatus
5.1 Loading frame
The loading frame shall be sufficiently rigid to ensure uniform loading of the specimen(s) and capable of
applying and maintaining the required load to within ± 3 % on the specimen or group of specimens for
the duration of the test, irrespective of any change in the dimension of the specimen(s).
NOTE 1 An example of a schematic diagram of a loading frame with 3 specimens operated by a hydraulic
arrangement for the measurement of total or basic creep is given in Figure 2. Similar arrangements can also be
used for a spring-loaded system in which only the system of loading will be different.
Load shall be measured with a maximum permissible error of ± 2 %.
The flatness tolerance for any plates or platens shall be 0,05 mm for the area in contact with the
specimen.
NOTE 2 For the purpose of this document, flatness can be assessed by the measurement of straightness in four
positions (see EN 12390-1:2012, Annex B).
A maximum of 3 specimens may be stacked for simultaneous loading in a single loading frame.

5.2 Drying room or cabinet
A drying room or cabinet with suitably controlled temperature and humidity, shall be used for storing
specimens in air and for measuring their length.
The drying room or cabinet shall meet the following requirements.
a) Air shall be circulated through the room or cabinet so that the same specified conditions are
attained adjacent to all specimens under test.
The air velocity should not exceed 0,5m/s near the specimens.
b) The temperature in the room or cabinet shall be maintained at (20 ± 2) °C.
c) The relative humidity in the room or cabinet shall have a target value of between 50 % and 70 %
and maintained within ± 5 % of the target value. Other values may be used if allowed by national
provisions valid in place of use.
d) The temperature and relative humidity of the room or cabinet shall be monitored throughout the
duration of the test and recorded at intervals not exceeding 24 h.
Separate provisions may be required in the case of manual recording of data during laboratory
closure periods.
The drying room or cabinet shall be fitted with suitable racks for storing specimens. The racks shall
permit free circulation of air around specimens, except for necessary supports, and shall be so situated
with respect to the nearest wall or other obstruction that air circulation is not restricted in the
intervening space. The horizontal supports shall consist of non-absorptive members having a total
bearing width supporting the specimen of not more than 25 mm.
5.3 Length change measuring system
5.3.1 General
The length change measuring device shall have a resolution of at least 0,001 mm. The maximum
permissible error of for gauge lengths of 400 mm or more shall be ± 0,01 mm and for gauge lengths less
than 400 mm it shall be ± 0,005 mm. Gauges relying on friction contact shall not be used.
