Concrete Creep and Shrinkage Effects Calculator

Total strain from creep, shrinkage, and elastic deformation combined.The formula is given by:

Where:

$ϵ_{t o t a l}$ is the total strain in concrete.
$ϵ elastic$ is the elastic strain, typically calculated using Hooke’s Law ( $σ = E \cdot ϵ$ ).
$ϵ_{cree p}$ is the creep strain, which accounts for the time-dependent deformation of concrete under sustained loads. It is often modeled empirically or using creep models.
$ϵ_{s h r inka g e}$ is the shrinkage strain, representing the volume reduction in concrete due to moisture loss during curing and drying.
