This text presents the proceedings of the fourth IUTAM Symposium "Creep in Structures", held in Cracow, September 1990 and contains 81 papers discussing rapid development of the theory, experimental research and structural applications of creep and viscoplasticity. They aim to reflect the present state of creep mechanics with structural applications, at the same time summarizing the achievements of the last decade and showing the directions of future research. This book of proceedings on constructions, constitutive equations, creep rupture and structural optimization is intended for researchers and design officers.
