Abstract: Ideal and optimum fineness moduli are used in combination with the geometrical gradation of aggregates to establish the mix proportioning of mass concrete. The ideal and optimum fineness moduli are experimentally determined ...

Abstract: Sulfate ions present in soil, ground water, seawater, decaying organic matter, and industrial effluents are known to have an adverse effect on long-term durability of concrete. However, ASTM test methods for predicting ...

Abstract: A singular hybrid finite element with seven nodes and triangular shape is used to determine the stress intensity factors for the splitting tension test. For different types of marble the finite-element simulations were ...
