Long-term behavior of self-compacting and normal vibrated concrete: Experiments and code predictions

Most codes seem to underestimate the creep behavior of the SCC concrete mix, thus they cannot be applied directly and the MC2010 suggestion to consider higher (10-20%) long-term deformation for SCC powder type concrete seems to be reasonable, as well as the suggestion to perform tests on the material for structures sensitive to variations in creep/shrinkage (i.e. redundant structures).
