Question:
For design with CONCRETE NL, is the creep applied to the entire cross-section, or only to the concrete compression zone?

Answer:
In the case of a calculation in RF‑CONCRETE NL, the creep is applied as a reduction of the elastic modulus of the concrete in the compression zone of the cross-section.

For more information about the differences between the analytical and nonlinear deformation analysis in RF‑CONCRETE Members and RF‑CONCRETE Surfaces, see the technical articles under the links below.
