A method has been proposed which approximates transient creep behaviour by the superposition of elastic and steady-state creep deformation. The present paper discusses the errors incurred by this method. It is shown that they are small. Equations are derived which enable corrections to be calculated with moderate accuracy for an important group of creep theories. Some numerical examples are included for comparison.
