The corrosion of steel reinforcement negatively influences the mechanical performance reinforced concrete (RC) elements reducing both their strength capacity and ductility. Especially in seismic prone areas, degradation cyclic behavior corroded RC is more intense, limiting service life structures leading to premature failures. In present paper, order study degraded embedded (in concrete) under ...

• Small cylinders endure longer lives under fatigue loading. The maximum pore size is larger in taller cylinders, which conditions their lower performance. A wall effect induces an inverse monotonic static effect. Cylinders fewer cycles than cubes of comparable size. law Sparks and Menzies insensitive to cylinder This study deals with the influence fiber concrete mesostructure on compressive Fo...

Introduction: Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) components used in total joint replacements have rims and fillets that act as design stress risers; thus, it is of interest to determine the behavior UHMWPE under multiaxial loading conditions. Currently, there are a number of conventional and crosslinked UHMWPE formulations in clinical use in total hip and total knee replacement c...
