dc.description.abstractConcrete is a material which undergoes slow increasing deformation while subjected to persistent mechanical stress. This phenomenon is known as creep. In concrete material, creep occurs at all stress levels. Additional deformation of concrete structures at the end of their design working life caused by creep is usually two to three times of the immediate elastic deformation value, but might be even more in some cases. The value is dependent on many parameters, e.g. concrete grade, cement class, ambient environment relative humidity, geometry of the structure (drying surface of concrete in contact with air) and also the age of concrete at the time of loading. According to corresponding European standard, the effects of creep are evaluated using creep coefficient, and should be considered for verification of serviceability limit states, and if significant, also at ultimate limit states. In order to evaluate the creep effects in geometrically more complex structures, numerical finite element (FEM) analyses might be conducted. In commercially available software ANSYS, there is a library of several implicit creep equations, with several input parameters. These parameters need to be calibrated in order to match the assumptions of the creep effects over time in accordance with the corresponding European standard. In this study, calibration process of European standard concrete C35/45 parameters for selected implicit creep equation from ANSYS library is presented. The parameters are calibrated for two different ambient relative humidity (RH) levels, 78.8% and 90%, each for concrete loaded in 28 days (also 90 days for RH 78.8% and 50 days for RH 90%) after its casting, and suitable for finite element analysis of creep effects within the first year after loading of the concrete structure. The calibration process is split into two parts, analytical one conducted in table processor, where approximate estimations of suitable parameter values are determined. The second part consist of the subsequent optimization process in OptiSLang software, where the optimal parameter values are determined in order to achieve the best match between the time dependent Eurocode standard creep coefficient and the creep coefficient based on the results of one solid element uniaxial compression test in ANSYS finite element software. The obtained parameters are then verified on an analysis of a simply-supported concrete beam modelled of solid 3D finite elements. The values of selected creep equation parameters are summarized in the table, and might be used in the subsequent ongoing research.en
