This guide describes the effects of numerous variables on shrinkage and creep of hardened concrete, including mixture proportions, environment, design, and construction. This document is aimed at designers who wish to gain further information about factors changing shrinkage and creep but does not include information on the prediction of shrinkage and creep or structural design issues associated with shrinkage and creep.
