Early age cracking of massive concrete structures highly depends on creep and especially basic and thermal tensile creep. Direct tensile test are difficult to perform and actually no consensus on phenomenon involve and on tensile creep compliance (with respect to compressive one) is available. This contribution compares creep compliance of a concrete mix which is representative of a French nuclear power plant. The obtained creep compliances are similar in tension and in compression. Since temperature evolution could be important in massive structures, temperature effects are also studied. A significant increase of creep strains is shown for an elevated temperature (60 degrees C) but also for a temperature variation (from 20 degrees C to 60 degrees C). Finally, this paper highlights the ability of rheological models to reproduce creep strains due to complex loading history (thermal and mechanical ones). (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
