Abstract
A three-dimensional finite element creep analysis has been developed in which a special provision has been made for creep and creep recovery. Computer programmes have been developed to assess the influence of thermal creep on the operational behaviour of complex structures. The work has application to prestressed concrete nuclear reactor pressure vessels and to concrete gravity platforms for the storage of oil at sea. The results obtained illustrate the significance of creep and temperature on the stress behaviour of nuclear and oil containment structures.
