I'm looking for information that provides the estimated long-term creep in either Bridge Rope - 6x7 WSC or Bridge Strand (Class A coating). I have information that gives me the E, and the max. tensile strength of various diameters, but nothing on long term creep.

As in high-strength prestressing strand, there is a long-term loss of prestress due to relaxation of the strand. Looking for ways to estimate this for the rope or strand over time in similar fashion.
