Abstract: The bearing capacity of a masonry element subjected to compression is generally determined by elastic calculations that take into account the different mechanical properties of the constituents. Compared to experimental ...

Abstract: Three-point bending tests on high-strength concrete specimens after exposure to high temperatures are presented, with a detailed evaluation of process zone size. The variables considered for the high-strength concrete were ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of a study on the freeze-thaw durability and deicer salt scaling resistance of particular non-air-entrained very high strength cement-based materials. Variables investigated were the microsilica ...
