Similarly, when using the maturity method on your jobsite to test compressive strength, it is recommended to perform cylinder break tests on day-28 of your concrete’s lifecycle for acceptance ...

The present paper outlines certain experimental devices used to determine compressive strength of earth mortars and tries to show their influence on the properties determined. Proposals for the future ...

As a foundational building material, concrete must exceed quality and strength expectations. This means rigorous testing throughout the construction process. Concrete is the most commonly used ...

Abdel Hafeza, RD, Shubbar, A, Nasr, MS and Abd-Al Ftahd, RO (2024) Reinforcing the brittle resistance of high strength concrete using agricultural waste fiber. Sustainable Structures, 4 (3). ISSN ...

Mecmesin’s Shotcrete Penetrometer offers accurate readings of the forces needed to penetrate poured or sprayed concrete during the first few hours of development, providing a reliable indication of ...

A recent article published in Engineering introduced green compression-casting for fabricating reinforced concrete ...

Therefore, predicting the compressive strength of geopolymer concrete is challenging and ... They split the dataset into training, validation, and testing subsets. Additionally, the study compared ...

But that doesn’t mean it isn’t strong. Although concrete has good compression strength, the tensile strength is quite poor. Around the late 1800s, someone thought to fortify spans of concrete ...
