The long‐term creep of polymer concrete was predicted with the structural approach and with the phenomenological model of the creep of a polymer binder (polyester resin). The physical aging of polyester resin during the previous exposure of the composite at elevated temperatures and its subsequent creep was examined. The model accounted for the deceleration of relaxation processes in the polyester resin and its shrinkage. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 89: 3427–3431, 2003
