Answer:
Creep is time dependent deformations of concrete under permanent loads (self weight), PT forces and permanent displacement. When concrete is subjected to compressive loading it deforms instantaneously.This immediate deformation is called instantaneous strain. Now, if the load is maintained for a considerable period of time, concrete undergoes additional deformations even without any increase in the load.This time-dependent strain is termed as creep
