This paper presents the results of an experimental study to measure the shortening of reinforced cashel tail bag concrete (RC) columns under long-term maintaining concentric axial load.Long-term axial deformation due to shrinkage and creep of the concrete were recorded beside deformation due to mechanical load.Eight RC cylinder - columns (content of reinforcement 1.5% and 2%) with diameter of 150 mm and height of 600 mm were tested during iphone 13 price ohio the period of 600 days to determine their shortening.The experimental results showed that the long-term deformation of RC columns occurs primarily during the first year of loading.
The deformation creep of concrete is much greater than the shrinkage deformation.The reinforcement content has a significant effect on the long-term deformation of concrete columns.
