1. The state or quality of being strong; physical power or capacity: the strength needed to lift a box. 2. The capacity to resist attack; impregnability: the strength of the ship's armor. 3. The capacity to resist strain or stress; durability: the strength of the cables. 4. The abil...
Following the large dispersion of the results for the specimens obtained from old bricks, the authors consider the standard method to determine the compressive strength of the bricks isn't suitable for the determination of the brick batch class. Therefore, a series of probabilistic calculation were ...
Moreover, a good correlation between the compressive strength and fissure width of CSBAC was observed in this study. Keywords: brick aggregate concrete; coconut shell aggregate; compressive strength; fissure; interfacial transition zone; lightweight concrete; microstructure...
Even a partial replacement of OPC raw materials with CCR should reduce the carbon footprint, which would alleviate the environmental burden of both CCR and OPC, to a certain extent. However, as the replacement level of CCR is increased, the mechanical strength of OPC is decreased [16]. ...
