Abstract
In this investigation, the structural design properties of concrete were characterized. Compressive, tensile, and flexural strengths were measured at different ages. In addition, modulus of elasticity, Poisson's ratio, creep, shrinkage, and various other properties were measured. Laboratory results were compared with several structural codes used by engineers for bridge and structural design. The results serve as a reminder that assumed code values can be significantly in error and must be used only in the absence of better data.Key words: concrete, creep, shrinkage, modulus of elasticity, strength, design.
