Prediction of creep strain in mineral wool slabs under compression

Abstract

Abstract. In order to successfully use stone wool products as a construction material which is affected by long-term compressive loads, it is not enough to be aware of the strength and deformation characteristics determined under shortterm loads. It is important to know the change in time of deformations (creep deformations) of the products under constant long-term compressive loads, which cause the enlarged deformations of structural elements of the material.The analysis of the change in thickness of stone wool under constant short-term and long-term  
