Tensile Strength Measurement for Foundry Sand Brick

Dataset of tensile strength development of concrete with manufactured sand

This article presents 755 groups splitting tensile strength tests data of concrete with manufactured sand (MSC) in different curing age ranged from 1 day to 388 days related to the research article "Experimental study on tensile strength development of concrete with manufactured sand" (Zhao et al., 2017) [1]. These data were used to evaluate the precision of the prediction formulas of tensile s...

A New Approach for Measurement of Tensile Strength of Concrete

Tensile strength is one of the important strength parameters of concrete. Indirect methods have been used up till now for its measurement. These methods though widely accepted, do not furnish the true tensile strength of concrete. This paper presents a new approach for the experimental determination of true tensile strength of concrete. Results obtained by this test are quite encouraging and sh...

Measurement of Compressive and Tensile Strength of Ice-silicate Mixtures

Introduction: Understanding the impact process of ice-silicate mixtures is of importance, because water ices exist mostly in a variety of forms of mixtures with silicate or some other components (e.g. ammonia) in the solar system. Decrease of crater volume with increasing silicate content was observed in our previous impact cratering experiments of ice-silicate mixture targets performed using a...

User Guideline for Foundry Sand in Green Infrastructure Construction

Geoenvironmental behavior of foundry sand amended mixtures for highway subbases.

The high cost of landfilling and the potential uses of waste foundry sands have prompted research into their beneficial reuse. Roadways have a high potential for large volume usage of the foundry sands. A laboratory testing program was conducted on soil-foundry sand mixtures amended with cement and lime to assess their applicability as highway subbase materials. The mixtures were compacted in t...
