Summarises key recent research in the areas of understanding the response mechanisms of concrete under tensile conditions Offers a summary of the most important parameters that affect the tensile ...

Concrete's greatest weakness is its tensile strength, which can be less than 10% of its compressive strength. So, we often reinforce it to create a composite material strong against all types of ...

Stress is defined as the force per unit area. Thus, the formula for calculating stress is: Where σ denotes stress, F is load and A is the cross sectional area. The most commonly used units for stress ...

Incorporating 2.5 % scrap aluminum engine residue in foamed concrete significantly boosts compressive strength and thermal ...
