while creep coefficient of 10,000-psi HPLC <strong>for</strong> was best predicted by Shams and Kahn <strong>for</strong> high<br />

per<strong>for</strong>mance concrete with 6% overestimate. The AASHTO-LRFD and Shams and Kahn’s<br />

models were used to estimate the 8,000-psi and 10,000-psi ultimate strains, by modifying each<br />

model to yield the same shrinkage and creep coefficient as those measured. The AASHTO-<br />

LRFD model was developed <strong>for</strong> normal strength concrete and was applicable <strong>for</strong> the 8,000 psi<br />

design strength. The Shams and Kahn’s model was developed <strong>for</strong> high strength/high<br />

per<strong>for</strong>mance normal strength concrete and was applied to the 10,000 psi design strength mixes.<br />
