Answer Posted / sunshine

CREEP
When load acts on any structural member (ex: beam, slab) strains develops that produces both compressive and tensile stresses. Tensile stresses are resisted by steel and concrete takes all the compressive stresses. These compressive stresses in concrete is the cause of deflection. This deflection takes alot of time to occur and hence is referred to as long term deflection or Creep.
