An experimental study was conducted on unsealed concrete I-beam specimens to investigate early-age tensile creep. The tests were conducted on concrete specimens that were moist-cured for 24 hours. The specimens were loaded at 30% of their tensile failure load and tensile creep was monitored for 72 h...
