Nanocellulose as building block for novel materials [PDF]
, 2012 This thesis describes the fabrication of novel green materials using nanocellulose as the building block. Bacterial cellulose (BC) was used as the nanocellulose predominantly in this work. BC is highly crystalline pure cellulose with an inherent fibre

An Innovative Test Method for Tensile Strength of Concrete by Applying the Strut-and-Tie Methodology
Materials, 2020 Tensile strength is one of the important mechanical properties of concrete, but it is difficult to measure accurately due to the brittle nature of concrete in tension. The three widely used test methods for measuring the tensile strength of concrete each

Effect of Fibers on the Mechanical Properties and Mechanism of Cast-In-Situ Foamed Concrete
Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2022 The cast-in-situ foamed concrete is inherently susceptible to cracks due to its brittleness under external loads. In order to improve its mechanical properties, this paper investigated the effect of fibers on the mechanical properties and mechanism of ...

A Direct Measurement Method for the Uniaxial Tensile Strength of Rock
BuildingsA universally applicable direct tension test method is proposed in this paper based on the concept of “compression-to-tension”. Using this method, one or two typical rocks were selected for each of the three types of rocks.

Development of a new test for determination of tensile strength of concrete blocks [PDF]
, 2013 An accurate experimental, numerical and analytical analysis of masonry structures is only possible if detailed information on the mechanical properties of masonry materials is known. In general, tensile strength of fragile brittle materials is a property

Harnessing Fungal Biowelding for Constructing Mycelium‐Engineered Materials
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Mycelium‐bound composites (MBCs) offer low‐carbon alternatives for construction, yet interfacial bonding remains a critical challenge. This review examines fungal biowelding as a biocompatible adhesive, elucidating mycelium‐mediated interfacial mechanisms and their role in material assembly. Strategies to optimize biowelding are discussed, highlighting
