• Abstract:
  The effects of creep and shrinkage strains in concrete are dependent on variables such as materials, stress level, and environment. In this investigation, creep and shrinkage strains as functions of time were determined for four different concretes from four different geographical areas of Texas (Dallas, San Antonio, Odessa, Lufkin). These four locations were chosen to represent four major areas of Texas for climate and aggregate for producing concrete. The concretes were made of materials commonly used in the respective areas. They were made, cured, and stored in those areas.
