For the presentation and comparison of the creep models, creep coefficients are developed. The main factors affecting the prediction of creep in concrete are outlined, comparing the influence of concrete grade, environmental conditions, member size and loading conditions. Most of the conventional models currently used for creep in cement concrete develop the code-type procedures and are calibrated for normal- and high-strength concretes.
