Concrete mix of grades M10, M15, M20, and M25 closely match the nominal mix proportions of 1:3:6, 1:2:4, 1:1.5:3, and 1:1:2, respectively. 3. Design Mix of Concrete Ratio In this mix of concrete, the performance of concrete is stated by the designer but the mix ratios are de...
The Federal Highway Administration (FHA) has proposed criteria for four different performance grades of HPC. The criteria are expressed in terms of eight performance characteristics including strength, elasticity, freezing/thawing durability, chloride permeability,abrasion resistance, scaling resistance, shrink...
Nominal outside diameter to thickness ratios in the range 51 to 114.5 and concrete grades 20 MPa and 50 MPa were considered for the tests. All the tested CF-SWSTs displayed monotonically increasing moment deformation behaviour. It was found that existing CFST design standards provide significantly...
The main objective of this work was to highlight the contribution of cement-to-waterC/Wratio and the fractal dimensionFDmodel to the prediction of the compressive strength of concrete. In particular, the fractal dimensionFDconcept relative to the size distribution of the granular mixtures provided ...
Each series has twenty four column specimens with different parameters like shape of columns, reinforcement ratios, types of GFRP reinforcements, slenderness of the columns and grades of concrete. Based on this study, the strength expressions are derived using the equilibrium, strain compatibility, and...
(e.g. 0.003) and the crushing point at the ultimate strain\({\varepsilon }_{cu}\)(e.g. 0.0035) as shown in Fig.1a. The NBR6118 establishes variable values for\({\varepsilon }_{cu}\)between 0.003 to 0.0026 for concrete grades from 50 to 90 MPa, respectively [1]. Meanwhile, ...
Load-deformation N-ε curves for both concrete and aluminum tube were also presented. Upon on validation of the FE models, additional structural performance data over a wide range of diameter-to-thickness ratios, aluminum grades and concrete strengths were generated for parametric studies. The ...
Three different cases of bond were examined together with four different loading regimes and slenderness ratios. Companion tests on similar empty steel tubes were also undertaken to highlight the synergistic effect of the steel and concrete acting compositely together. Conclusions are drawn on the ...

With the current trend towards the use of higher concrete grades the influence of creep effects reduces even further because its non-drying component (i.e. basic creep φbasic) tends to significantly decrease for higher strengths. This trend is depicted qualitatively in Fig. 6 in which creep ...
