本指南描述了许多变量对硬化混凝土收缩和徐变的影响，包括混合比、环境、设计和施工。本文件针对希望获得有关收缩和徐变变化因素的更多信息，但不包括收缩和徐变预测或与收缩和徐变相关的结构设计问题的信息的设计师。

This guide describes the effects of numerous variables on shrinkage and creep of hardened concrete, including mixture proportions, environment, design, and construction. This document is aimed at designers who wish to gain further information about factors changing shrinkage and creep but does not include information on the prediction of shrinkage and creep or structural design issues associated with shrinkage and creep.
