Creep Recovery 

CreepCreep describes a time and temperature dependent plastic deformation under a constant force. When a constant force is applied to a rubber compound, the initial deformation obtained due to the application of the force is not fixed. The deformation will increase with time.Creep recovery is the ratio of the Recoverable Creep Compliance (Jr)Recoverable Creep Compliance (Jr) is the resulting deformation of a material from a creep compliance test once the static loading is removed and the material is permitted to recover over time.recoverable creep compliance to initial CreepCreep describes a time and temperature dependent plastic deformation under a constant force. When a constant force is applied to a rubber compound, the initial deformation obtained due to the application of the force is not fixed. The deformation will increase with time.creep compliance given in percent.Often in Multiple Stress Creep Recovery (MSCR)The method is designed to identify the presence of elastic response in an asphalt binder. MSCR (Multiple Stress Creep Recovery (MSCR)The method is designed to identify the presence of elastic response in an asphalt binder. multiple stress creep recovery) testing, CreepCreep describes a time and temperature dependent plastic deformation under a constant force. When a constant force is applied to a rubber compound, the initial deformation obtained due to the application of the force is not fixed. The deformation will increase with time.creep recovery is considered a performance indicator with more recovery indicating a binder less prone to rutting.
