Effects of Steel and Polypropylene Fiber Addition on Interface Bond Strength between Normal Concrete Substrate andSelf-Compacting Concrete Topping [PDF]

, 2012
Based on facts that the composite action in semi-precast and strengthened structural system depends on the bond strength of the interface between concrete faces of different ages, this preliminary research is aimed to investigate effects of mixed ...

Study of a hot asphalt mixture response based on energy concepts [PDF]

, 2011
The main objective of the research reported in this paper is to determine the response of a hot mix asphalt (HMA) in terms of both the tensile strength and energy parameters (based on the assessment of the force-displacement curve) as potential tools for

Identification of anisotropic tensile strength of cortical bone using Brazilian test. [PDF]

, 2014
For a proper analysis of cortical bone behaviour, it is essential to take into account both the elastic stiffness and the failure criteria. While ultrasound methods allow complete identification of the elastic orthotropic coefficients, tests used to ...

Stress analysis of asphalt mixture in the indirect tensile strength test

IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2020
Abstract Nowadays asphalt mixture is the most used material in the construction and reconstruction of roads. It is used for its advantages, such as availability of materials, flexibility and no need for dilatation. However, the asphalt mixture has one disadvantage, namely temperature sensitivity.
