N2 - This paper is concerned with the compressive creep behavior of viscoelastic materials, such as high density polyethylene (HDPE) commonly used to manufacture Fiber Reinforced Polymeric (FRP) piling. Accelerated methods to predict the tensile creep of polymers are already available. The Time-Temperature Superposition (TTS) phenomenon is the basis of several available methods, and an ASTM standard for tensile creep is based on one of its derivatives. In this paper, TTS has been adapted to study the compressive creep of HDPE. Experimental test results on virgin HDPE indicated that TTS is applicable for compressive loading with, some limitations.
