Concretes with cube compressive strength ranging from 1 to 60 MPa were covered in the studyP. K. K. LeeW. ZhangA. K. H. KwanTransaction of the Hongkong Institute of EngineersLee PKK, Kwan AKH and Zheng W (2000) Tensile strength and elastic modulus of typical concrete made in Hong Kong...
In this study, the cube compressive strength, split cylinder tensile strength, static modulus and dynamic modulus of typical concrete produced in Hong Kong using the local materials under the local conditions were measured and best-fit equations correlating the various mechanical properties derived. The...
Concrete Core: The concrete core forms the main body of the column and provides compressive strength to support the applied loads. It is typically made of high-quality concrete with specified strength and durability characteristics. Reinforcement Bars (Rebars)...
The displacement ductility corresponding to the third damage state, \(\mu_{c3}\), is the displacement ductility ratio corresponding to \(\varepsilon_{\text{c}} = 0.004;\) where \(\varepsilon_{\text{c}}\) is the maximum compressive strength of concrete column, hence \(\Delta _{3}\)...
Ensuring the safety and functionality of petrochemical plants after a strong earthquake is critical, particularly due to the presence of hazardous chemical materials stored in pressurized vessels and reaction tanks that can be flammable or toxic. Strong earthquakes in chemical units can cause severe stru...
Typically, the columns of the prefabricated reinforced concrete (RC) industrial buildings and warehouses with large clear storey heights are very slender, with aspect ratios (shear span to width) larger than 10. In addition to supporting the gravity loads, the columns also provide strength, stiffne...
ConcreteSilty sandBenin CityStrengthQualityThe purpose of this study is to carry out tests on concrete made with a typical Benin City silty sand and determine the major concrete quality indicators such as pulse velocity, water/cement ratio and compressive strength in order to justify the continued ...
uniaxial compressive strengthPhenoblasticMilky and Intermediate rocksaltsOur evaluation of prevalent construction practice in Taiwan revealed several configuration issues and a serious and systemic lack of attention to established seismic design and construction procedures for reinforced concrete buildings. Steel ...
This would further lower the micro-mechanical properties of new cement paste and weaken the RCA/pastebonding thereby causing poorer compressive/flexural strength of RAPC. However, the poor cohesiveness at larger RCA water absorptions could create more connected pores for superior permeability. The high...
This corrosion would emerge in the form of uniform reduction of the reinforcement bars diameter of the columns and shear walls as well as the reduction of compressive strength of the concrete cover and steel yield stress to the structure. Fragility and vulnerability curves associated with the ...
