Why is it important?
Most of the previous studies have covered the effect of temperature or the hygrothermal effect for preconditioned specimens. However, this study encompassed investigating the combined effect of temperature and water immersion on preconditioned specimens and testing the creep of the specimens under the same conditions via a submersible clamp.
