Abstract
Secondary stresses arising from the interaction of the heterogeneous components of concrete are shown to influence the elastic and time-dependent strains in all directions, even under a uniaxial compression. The influence of creep of aggregate and the stress at the aggregate-matrix interface under sustained load are also considered. It is suggested that superposition of strains under multiaxial stress is not valid.
