Creep rates increases with higher stresses and temperatures. With lower stresses and temperatures, creep rates decrease but failure usually occurs at lower overall strains.

Creep is time-dependent plastic deformation that is usually significant only at high temperatures.
The effect of temperatures below 250 degrees Celsius is small on concrete, but definite loss of strength is expected at higher temperatures.
At low temperatures the energy absorbtion is low and initiation and propagation of brittle fractures are comparatively easy, while at high temperatures the energy absorbtion is high because of ductile […]
