Abstract
Measured strains on concrete columns of two high-rise buildings and on three segments of one long span post-tensioned concrete box girder bridge are reported. For each structure, standard creep and shrinkage measurements were made on samples of concrete used in the structure.
Résumé
Les déformations mesurées sur des colonnes de béton de deux batiments élevés et sur trois voussoirs évides d’un pont précontraint de longue portée sont reportées. Des essais standards de retrait et de fluage ont été effectués sur des echantillons de béton utilisé dans chacune de ces structures.
