6.4.2.7(1)
(Page 46)

Creep of concrete depends, on the stress in the

concrete, age at loading and duration of loading in
addition to the factors listed in Clause 6.4.2.6(1). As
long as the stress in concrete does not exceed 0.36
fck creep may be assumed to be proportional to the
stress.

Creep of concrete depends, on the stress in the concrete,

age at loading and duration of loading in addition to the
factors listed in Clause 6.4.2.6(1). As long as the stress
in concrete does not exceed 0.36 fcm (t0) creep may be
assumed to be proportional to the stress.

6.4.2.7(2)
(Page 47)

The values given in Table 6.9 can be considered as

nal creep co-efcient for design for normal weight
concrete, subject to condition that the compressive
stress does not exceed 0.36 fck at the age of loading
and mean temperature of concrete is between 10C
and 20C with seasonal variation between 20C
to 40C. For temperature greater than 40C the coefcient given may be increased by 10 percent in
absence of accurate data. In case the compressive
stress exceeds 0.36 fck, at loading, non-linear creep
shall be considered.

1.
Positional restraints are given for directions at
right angles to the member.
2.
Cases 1 to 5 shows superstructure held in position
which means the deck is held in position at some
location other than the pier under consideration
(say typically either at another pier or at the
abutment).
3.
In case of any oating deck on elastomeric
bearings (simply supported or continuous), Case 7
will be applicable.
4.
For a continuous deck xed at any pier/abutment,
Case 7 applies for the design of xed pier/
abutment. For design of other piers in the
longitudinal direction, Case 4 applies for piers
with elastomeric bearings and Case 5 applies for
piers with free metallic bearings.

The effect of imperfection may be represented by an
eccentricity in mm,

limited to 50 mm

(Page 120)

Where compressive stress in concrete under

quasi-permanent loads is within 0.36fck, linear creep
may be assumed. In case compressive stress exceeds
0.36fck, non-linear creep shall be considered, for
which Annexure A-2 may be referred.

Where compressive stress in concrete under

quasi-permanent loads is within 0.36 fcm(t0), linear creep
may be assumed. In case compressive stress exceeds
0.36fcm(t0), non-linear creep shall be considered.
For stress level in the range of 0.36 fcm(to) < c
0.48fcm(to) the non-linearity of creep may be taken into
account using the following equation:

(t, to) is the non-linear creep coefcient.

6.4.2.2(3)
(Page 39)

To avoid irreversible damage like local cracking (eg. due to

early age prestressing) the achievement of early age strength
shall be veried by testing. It is to be noted that the eld
testing results based on small number of samples are a
measure of the mean value of early age strength and not of
the characteristic value of early age. The values thus obtained
should be reduced by 1.645 x (standard deviation for the
grade of concrete). The value of the standard deviation to be
used for early age is required to be established by testing at
least 30 numbers of samples at site, unless it is know from
past experience. Refer Section 18 for details.
