Abstract
Abstract The basis of creation and development of the theory of creep of reinforced concrete is based on unscientific principles taken from systems of classical mechanics that do not correspond to this theory. Linear systems with stationary properties (inertial, dissipative and positional components) are used to describe the properties of aging concrete. The replacement of constant coefficients in classical models is carried out: instead of these constant coefficients ai variable coefficients are inserted, which are functions of time - a i (τ), a i (τ), i=1, 2, 3, 4. From such the replacement, the integrand function of the theory has lost its physical meaning. Errors in structural calculations are 300-500%.
