1. 6.4.2.7(1) Creep of concrete depends, on the stress in the
(Page 46) concrete, age at loading and duration of loading in

long as the stress in concrete does not exceed 0.36

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 f cm (t 0) creep may be
assumed to be proportional to the stress.

2. 6.4.2.7(2) The values given in Table 6.9 can be considered as
(Page 47) final creep co-efficient for design for normal weight
concrete, subject to condition that the compressive
stress does not exceed 0.36  f  ck  at the age of loading
and mean temperature of concrete is between 10ºC
and 20ºC with seasonal variation between – 20ºC
to 40ºC. For temperature greater than 40ºC the co-
efficient given may be increased by 10 percent in
absence of accurate data. In case the compressive
stress exceeds 0.36 f ck , at loading, non-linear creep
shall be considered.

For temperature greater than 40ºC the co-efficient given

Table 2. Cases 1 to 5 shows superstructure held in position
(Page 114) 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 floating deck on elastomeric
 bearings (simply supported or continuous), Case 7
will be applicable.
4. For a continuous deck fixed at any pier/abutment,
Case 7 applies for the design of fixed 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.

5. 12.2.1(2) Where compressive stress in concrete under
(Page 120) quasi-permanent loads is within 0.36 f  ck , linear creep
may be assumed. In case compressive stress exceeds
0.36 f  ck , non-linear creep shall be considered, for

For stress level in the range of 0.36  f  cm(t o) < σc ≤
