Abstract
This chapter collects the description of the main creep testing procedures in fibre-reinforced concrete (FRC) as well as the equipment used by each participant laboratory in the round-robin test (RRT). The description of each procedure was directly provided by the participants and follows the same structure for each participant where institution identification and contact information was included. Each participant summarised the most significant data such as specimen’s size, load configuration, parameters or environmental conditions in a quite useful table. Moreover, the participants included description and close-up pictures of the creep frames construction, the support boundary conditions, and the measurement devices used. Finally, the participants provided a complete description of the specific complete creep test procedure followed.
