AS 1012.16:1996 (R2014) PDF Download

AS 1012.16:1996 (R2014) is a standard that outlines the procedure for determining the creep of concrete cylinders under sustained longitudinal compressive loads. It specifically focuses on standard concrete test cylinders and does not provide calculations for time-dependent deflection of reinforced or prestressed concrete members.

The standard emphasizes that the conditions for curing and storage can be adjusted to suit different requirements, such as early pre-stress. Similarly, the time of loading can be varied to provide indications of other properties. However, it is important to note that these variations may not comply with the specific requirements for a creep test as specified in this standard.
