Numerical Simulation of the Effect of Loading Angle on Initial Cracks Position Point: Application to the Brazilian Test

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2021
The Brazilian Test is the most used test to determine the indirect tensile strength for brittle materials like concrete. It has been observed that the success of the test depends on the cracks initiation point position and therefore the arch loading ...

Comparative Study on the Bond Strength between Direct Tensile Test and Indirect Tensile Test for Bonded Concrete Overlay [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of The Korean Society of Civil Engineers, 2013
Bonded concrete overlay is a favorable maintenance method since the material properties are similar to existing concrete pavements. In addition, bonded concrete overlay has advantage of structural performance based on being bonded together, both for the overlay layer and the existing pavement which perform as one monolithic layer.
