Time-dependent material
properties
midas Civil for Proficient

Creep, Shrinkage & Concrete Strength Gain Over Time


• Why do we need these “time dependent”
properties?
• Prestress force: Change over time due to the gradual loss
Prestress Loss due to : Relaxation, Creep & Shrinkage

• Different Concrete age of Girder & Deck Slab in


composite structure
Differential Creep & Shrinkage

• Change in Concrete Strength over time


Change in Force Distribution/Stiffness

Common Mistakes
• Very high spacing between the grillage members
• No common node between the members for force
transfer
• Improper units while defining the material
properties & time-dependent effects
• Improper units while defining the section properties
or importing it from a CAD file
