Concrete creep plays a significant role in the long-term performance of the prestressed concrete structure. However, most of the existing prediction models cannot accurately reflect the in-site concrete creep in a bridge construction environment. To improve the prediction accuracy of creep effects in concrete structures, an innovative creep analysis method is developed in this study. Parameters in the creep model in fib MC 2010 have been calibrated with respect to the long-term loading test results of the prestressed concrete beam. The measured strains of concrete and the midspan deflections of the test beam are compared with the predicted results using the creep model in fib MC 2010. It indicates that the results predicted by the calibrated creep model are in good agreement with the test results. However, the results predicted by the creep model in fib MC 2010 significantly deviate from the test results. This proposed creep analysis method can provide a new thought to improve the predicted effect of the creep effects on creep-sensitive structures.

The modern prestressed concrete bridges have the characteristics of large-span, high concrete strength, reinforced volume prestress and linear shape complexity. The structure bearing capacity and durability are considerable impacted by concrete creep, such as stresses redistribution and deflections increase. Some of the prediction concrete creep models that are being widely used at present are briefly introduced in this paper. Based on the analysis of existing research achievement, for the aim of improving the calculation accuracy of creep effects in bridge structures, several main problems that should be paid attention to in concrete creep analysis are pointed out from four aspects: (1) in design stage, the reasonable creep prediction model should be selected in accord with the local building materials and environment conditions; (2) during the analysis of creep effects, the initial stresses state and the stresses redistribution should be attended; (3) the reliability of prestress loss calculation should be considered in analysis of concrete creep effects; (4) the differences between normal construction materials and that of new types should be taken into account in concrete creep analysis.

The creep of concrete in the construction process of deformation influential, especially in the cantilever pouring construction, short age of concrete, creep effect more apparent. Meaning for cantilever construction of Bridges, creep analysis must be properly considered section at different time of loading values and the concrete ages of different segments. In this paper, based on the viscoelastic problem of cantilever construction of concrete creep analysis method, analyzes the deflection of cantilever construction process of a rigid-frame bridge, and compared with the actual measured value.

In inversion of viscoelastic full-wavefield seismic data, the choice of model parameterization influences the uncertainties and biases in estimating seismic and petrophysical parameters. Using an incomplete model parameterization results in solutions in which the effects of missing parameters are attributed erroneously to the parameters that are included. Incompleteness in this context means assuming the earth is elastic rather than viscoelastic. The inclusion of compressional and shear-wave quality factors [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] in inversion gives better estimates of reservoir properties than the less complete (elastic) model parameterization. [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are sensitive primarily to fluid types and saturations. The parameter correlations are sensitive also to the model parameterization. As noise increases in the viscoelastic input data, the resolution of the estimated parameters decreases, but the parameter correlations are relatively unaffected by modest noise levels.
