Cracks caused by environmental temperature and humidity variation are generally considered one of the most important factors causing durability deterioration of concrete structures. The seasonal or ...

The coupling effect of moisture content and temperature on the elastic modulus of concrete is experimentally investigated. The elastic modulus of dry concrete exhibits a clear temperature-weakening ...

The use of lightweight concrete with expanded clay has increased as an alternative for reducing the self-weight of structures. Consequently, techniques that facilitate the analysis of the mechanical ...

This video by ADMET shows a concrete compression test performed according to ASTM C469 - Standard Test Method for Static Modulus of Elasticity and Poisson's Ratio of Concrete in Compression.

There are several requirements established in ACI 318-19 (Building Code Requirements for Concrete and Commentary) that concrete materials need to meet; otherwise, it would not be suitable for the ...

ABSTRACT: The global awareness and utilization of superplasticizers (SPs) in concrete have significantly contributed to developing resilient and sustainable infrastructure. Despite this, many ...

This paper presents a comparative analysis of the results obtained in static modulus of elasticity tests of plain concrete cylindrical specimens. The purpose of this study is to identify and evaluate ...

In this paper, we suggest to study the behavior of a mat foundation on subsoil from the plate theory taking into account the soil-structure interaction. The objective is to highlight the ...

Engineers and owners are concerned about deflections of vertical members that control wind movements in tall buildings, and deflections of horizontal members that control floor flatness for final ...

A conventional method to study the durability of Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) rebars is to carry out tensile tests on the corroded GFRP bars. The degree of corrosion of the GFRP bars could be ...
