Information about funding sources or sponsorship that supported the collection of the data: No funding. General description: This database was obtained in an international Round-Robin Creep Test campaing promoted by the RILEM Technical Committee TC 261-CCF. The RRT database is open access available for the scientific community as supplementary material of the Round-Robin Test State-of-the-Art Report published by Springer in the RILEM State-of-the-Art Reports series to improve the global knowledge in the long-term deformations of the cracked FRC specimens. The database variables as well as the parameter organistaion are described in the Appendix C of the aforementioned book. Keywords: Creep, Fibre Reinforced Concrete, Round-Robin Test, Long-term behaviour, RRT, FRC, Cracked state, Flexural test, Direct tension, Square panel, Round panel. -------------------------- SHARING/ACCESS INFORMATION -------------------------- Open Access to data: Open Date end Embargo: ---- Licenses/restrictions placed on the data, or limitations of reuse: Creative Commons Attribution - Non Commercial - Share Alike (by-nc-sa).

Relationship between files: there is only 1. Type of version of the dataset: processed data. Total size: 432 KB -------------------------- METHODOLOGICAL INFORMATION -------------------------- Description of methods used for collection/generation of data: - P. Serna, A. Llano-Torre, E. García-Taengua and J.R. Martí-Vargas, “Database on the Long-Term Behaviour of FRC: A Useful Tool to Achieve Overall Conclusions”, Proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Mechanics and Physics of Creep, Shrinkage, and Durability of Concrete and Concrete Structures, Vienna, September 2015, pp. 1544-1553. Methods for processing the data: A convention regarding the data collection during the Round-Robin Test was established to simplify the analysis of results. The main parameters were defined and arranged in an Excel datasheet. All participant laboratories shall provide their results after the long-term test. The datasheets were collected, reviwed and checked prior to include then into the database. Software- or Instrument-specific information needed to interpret the data, including software and hardware version numbers: Microsoft Excel. Standards and calibration information, if appropriate: -. Environmental/experimental conditions: Each Round-Robin Test participant performed creep test on cracked FRC specimens in agreed conditions in their facilities for 360 days. Four different methodologies were conducted. After creep test, the data was collected and provided by each laboratory. The equipment and procedure description of each participant laboratory can be found in the aforementioned book entitled 'Round-Robin Test on Creep Behaviour in Cracked Sections of Fibre Reinforced Concrete' published in the RILEM State-of-the-Art Report series. Describe any quality-assurance procedures performed on the data: The preliminary database was checked by each participant and corrected for the final version (v4.0). Depending on the participant, some data are missing due to issues during creep test or procedure differences. -------------------------- DATA-SPECIFIC INFORMATION -------------------------- Number of variables: 144 umber of specimens: 124 Variable list, defining any abbreviations, units of measure, codes or symbols used: the variable definition as well as units and symbols used ar defined in the sheet 'DATA AND UNITS' of the Excel file.
