Abstract
Based on an extensive experimental programme a new, model is proposed for the basic creep of early age concrete in compression. In this mode l the degree of hydration is an important parameter influencing the cr eep evolution as well as the final creep value. In this way the fundam ental nature of the degree of hydration in the early age basic creep b ehaviour is illustrated. The non-linearity of the basic creep at early ages is taken into account.
