Influence of prism geometry on the compressive strength of concrete masonry
, 2020 The compressive strength of concrete masonry depends on the dimensions of the test prisms. The available international masonry codes apply correction factors based on the height-to-thickness ratio to modify the strength obtained from different sizes of ...

Punching shear strength of steel fibre reinforced lightweight concrete slabs. [PDF]
, 1981 One of the problems in slab-column connections is the punching shear failure at over loads. Such failures are sudden and catastrophic, and are undesirable since they do not allow an overall yield mechanism to ...

The Compressive Strength of Light Weight Concrete
International Journal of Engineering Sciences, 2020 The compressive strength of lightweight concrete using palm kernel shell (pks) and periwinkle shell (pws) is reported. The strength as a function of aggregates ,age, and density were investigated. The strengths were measured at interval of 7-day for 28 days.
