Abstract
Sulphur-sand concrete made from a mixture of sulphur and sand has been studied as a potential construction material due to its high compressive strength. In this paper, the results of a short-term creep test on sulphur-sand concrete under uniaxial compression are presented to provide information on the time-dependent behaviour of such a composite material. The results indicate that sulphur-sand concrete exhibits creep behaviour similar to that of portland cement concrete but with a relatively larger magnitude.
