AR BT QUIZ 3

1. The tendency of most materials to move or deform overtime under a constant load. The amount of
movement varies enormously depending upon the material. The area that is highly stressed will move
the most. The movement causes stresses to be redistributed.

 Creep

weight of the footing.

 Wall footing
