To study the influence of hydrothermal coupling curing at different temperatures on the creep characteristics of concrete, uniaxial compression test, multistage creep test, and scanning electron microscope (SEM) test of concrete after hydrothermal coupling curing at 20, 40, 60, 80 ℃ were conducted. The results show that the strength of concrete under different temperatures in hydrothermal coupling curing is significantly higher than that of normal curing in the 20 days of curing. The maximum increase rate of concrete strength under the hydrothermal coupling curing at 60 ℃ is 54.8%. Then the strength of concrete decreases at different temperatures hydrothermal coupling curing, and the strength is lower than the normal curing after curing 60 days. With the increasing hydrothermal coupling temperature, the creep performance of concrete first increases and then decreases. The creep properties of concrete were significantly improved after the hydrothermal coupling at 60 ℃, and the creep strength was increased by 22.24%, the creep time was extended by 23.95 hours, the instantaneous strain and creep strain were decreased by 6.4% and 32%, respectively, compared with normal curing. However, after experiencing hydrothermal coupling at 80 ℃, it will have a greater negative effect on the concrete creep properties. Based on the test results, the Burgers creep model agrees well with the creep test data.
