Abstract

In this paper two approximate methods for the prediction of the non-linear time-dependent behaviour of poured asphalt and European spruce (Picea abies (L) Karst.) in uniaxial compression creep-tests at constant temperature are described. It is shown that the application of these two methods to several arbitrary step-loading and repeated single-step loading histories leads to a fairly good agreement between the prediction and the experimental data.
