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 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 to initial 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.
