The modulus of elasticity of concrete is often calculated as a function of the compressive strength, and as a deterministic value. However, variations in the aggregates properties may result in module ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Abstract: This article describes the experimental studies to determine the compressive strength and modulus of elasticity of concrete in 12 reinforced concrete beams at the age of 5 years using a ...

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.

ABSTRACT: The developments in the field of construction raise the need for concrete with less weight. This is beneficial for different applications starting from the less load applied to foundations ...

Centre for Future Materials, University of Southern Queensland, Toowoomba, QLD, Australia The pore characteristics of geopolymer foam concretes (GFCs) manufactured in the laboratory with 0–16% foam ...

ABSTRACT: This paper deals with the effect of blended cement and natural latex copolymer to static and dynamic properties of polymer modified concrete. The polymer was used copolymer of natural latex ...
