Today research on creep and shrinkage of concrete is diversified to
such a degree that specialists working in different areas sometimes
find it difficult to understand one-another. Materials scientists
are mainly interested in processes on a microstructural level but
they do not necessarily understand the relevance of time dependent
deformation in structural design. On the other hand engineers who
apply simplified model laws in non-elastic structural analysis are
not always in the position to judge the limitations implied in
their approach. It is generally realized that further development
can be stimulated by a more effective exchange of results and ideas
among the different groups involved. In an attempt to bridge this
obvious gap in September 1980 there was a Conference organized at
Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne. The papers
presented at this meeting covered the wide range starting with
microstructural aspects and mechanisms and including constitutive
modelling and structural creep analysis. These contributions
together with summaries of two panel discussions are being
published in this volume. All serious of the meeting have been
introduced by invited lectures. These papers will be published in a
special volume "Creep and Moisture Effects in Concrete." This
special volume is rather to be a general survey of the different
areas covered while the present conference proceedings provide a
unique selection of research papers. Nowadays time-dependent
deformation of concrete can be taken into consideration
realistically by computerized structural analysis.
