Flexural Behavior of Model Sea Ice in a Centrifuge

Journal of Cold Regions Engineering, 1999
An experimental program was devised for the production of saline ice sheets in a centrifuge and the determination of flexural strength and elastic modulus of this ice through in situ cantilever beam testing. A cold box, in which dry ice acted as a heat sink, was used for this purpose. The ice beams were produced by lowering a heated brass frame through

Flexural Behavior of Biaxial Braided Composites

Materials, 2005
Braided composites have more balanced properties than traditional tape laminates, and have potentially better fatigue and impact resistance due to the interlacing. The natural conformability of biaxial braided tubes makes it the ideal preform for three-dimensional complex components.

Bending Behavior of Flexural Members

2015
Flexural members are widely used in civil engineering shown here as reinforced concrete slabs, beams, stairs, and foundations in Fig. 1.4, retaining walls in Fig. 5.1, and girders, bent caps, and crash barriers in beam bridges in Figs. 5.2 and 5.3. Although flexural members have various section shapes, e.g., rectangular section, T-shaped section, box ...

Flexural Behavior of Hybrid Composite Beams

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2013
This paper presents the development of composite beams, which consist of hybrid carbon and glass fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) I-beams and precast, ultra-high-performance, fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) slabs. Hybrid FRPs (HFRPs) provide the advantage of high resistance to corrosion, while UHPFRC has great strength and durability.

Flexural behavior of polyester polymer concrete

Cement and Concrete Research, 1987
Abstract The effect of temperature, strain rate, resin content, void content and methods of preparation (vibration and compaction) on the overall flexural behavior of a polyester resin based polymer concrete is studied under three-point bending. The strength and modulus of polyester polymer concrete are relatively independent of strain rate but ...

Flexural Behavior of Laterally Restrained Beams

Journal of the Structural Division, 1978
Load carrying capacity of a flexural member is significantly increased if the horizontal displacements of the ends of the member are restricted by suitable end details and support conditions. This phenomenon has been acknowledged by previous investigators.

Flexural behavior of asymmetric structural foams

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 2009
AbstractAsymmetric structural foams were prepared by compression molding to study the flexural properties of these sandwich structures with different layer thickness. It was found that the flexural properties of asymmetric structural foams are function of load direction. Since the bending behavior is a combination of tension and compression, the stress

Flexural behavior of ferrocement sandwich panels

Cement and Concrete Composites, 1991
Abstract The flexural behavior of ferrocement sandwich panels has been studied. The parameters considered in the experimental investigation were the number of wire mesh layers, the skeletal steel, the web mesh reinforcement and the number of webs. Ultimate moment capacities were computed analytically using conventional reinforced concrete theory ...

Postcracking Behavior of Prestressed Masonry in Flexure

Journal of Structural Engineering, 2007
To fully exploit the structural potential of prestressed masonry in flexure, it is essential to know its postcracking behavior. For this, a nonlinear finite element model has been developed to predict the complete response of prestressed masonry structural elements subjected to a monotonically increasing load. The present model incorporates the effects

The flexural behavior of fibrous plaster sheets

Cement and Concrete Research, 1975
Abstract Tests on fibrous plaster sheet, reinforced with sisal and glass fibres in the bulk density range 56 to 72.5 lb/ft 3 (W/P = 0.9 to 0.6), show that sisal fibre decreases the strength of the gypsum composite by approximately 30 to 50% and glass fibre by approximately 0 to 30%.
