Review on Creep of Plain and Fibrous Concrete

Abstract

An appraisal of topical advancements in the exploration of creep performance in plain and fibrous concrete (FC) was done in this paper. A comparison of plain concrete and fibrous concrete creep performance was carried out as reported in the literature. This is aimed at quantifying the effect of fibre inclusion on creep behaviour of concrete when exposed to sustained load. Reviewing the literature, it was gathered that insertion of fibres in concrete can be of advantage to creep performance as it reduces the creep of concrete composite. Despite the elaborated study on creep of concrete, literature holds it that much is still needed to be done on fibrous concrete. However, publication on creep behaviour of biofibrous concrete is very limited.
