The new study analyzes tensile characteristics of fiber-reinforced concrete, focusing on how different fibers and cements ...

Flexural strength and stiffness are not basic material properties. They are the combined effects of a material’s basic tensile, compressive and shear properties. That is, when a flexural loading is ...

Universal testing machines outfitted with bend fixtures are used in calculating flexural strength, flexural modulus, yield point, and more. This article will explore the requisite equipment for ...

Researchers have demonstrated that applying plaster to reinforced concrete (RC) beams significantly improves their structural performance and moment capacity after exposure to uncontrolled fire. The ...
