studying concrete compression with free fall on the pressed swing of tight concrete

the effect of taftan pozzolan on the compressive strength of concrete in the environmental conditions of oman sea (chabahar port)

cement is an essential ingredient in the concrete buildings. for production of cement considerable amount of fossil fuel and electrical energy is consumed. on the other hand for generating one tone of portland cement, nearly one ton of carbon dioxide is released. it shows that 7 percent of the total released carbon dioxide in the world relates to the cement industry. considering ecological issu...

Effect of the Concrete Strength on the Concrete-Steel Bond in Concrete Filled Steel Tubes

In this study, the concrete-steel bond strength of concrete filled cylindrical steel tubes has been experimentally investigated. 22 short, high strength and normal concrete filled circular steel tubes were tested. Push-out test was carried out as the common method to evaluate the bond carrying capacity. Four different concrete mixes were used in preparing the specimens. The steel tubes were w...

Effects of Recycled Concrete Aggregates on Properties of Asphalt Concrete

Low Cycle Fatigue Behavior of Concrete with Recycled Concrete Aggregates

A comparison of concrete containing recycled concrete coarse aggregates and natural coarse aggregates subjected to high strain, low cycle compressive fatigue is presented. Using a strain based feedback control loop, concrete cylinders are compressed at 15µε/s to a specified strain then unloaded to zero stress for 10 cycles. After cycling, all samples are loaded to a strain of 0.008. Direct conc...

Research on Concrete Aggregates

Portland cement concrete has been used extensively for many years as a construction material in bridges, buildings, highway pavements and other structures. Numerous structures and pavements that have been in service for decades illustrate the good durability and value of con­ crete when properly used in engineering construction. For example, the first concrete pavement built in the United State...
