Creep coefficient Eurocode

Dear RAM team. I would like to ask you the following:

Is the creep coefficient that RAM is using for the Time history analysis the same as defined by the Eurocode 2? Thanks a lot, regards.

  • Thank you!

    Deflections are also very sensible to the shrinkage restrain factor. The information I find is this one:

    •0% - unrestrained or very lightly restrained slabs (flexible columns only, single stiff element)
    •10% - normally restrained slabs (more than one stiff element, some flexibility)
    •20% - completely restrained slabs (basement walls around entire perimeter, etc. causing a high degree of restraint)

    Do we have a more accurate way to assess this?
    Thanks, regards.
