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: The results of a quality-control operation performed on the jobsite of a large volume of ready-mix self-consolidating concrete (SCC) are presented. To test the prerequisites of fresh SCC, three tests (slump flow [SF], ...

Abstract: The behavior of marble was investigated to evaluate the damage and failure mechanisms produced from cyclic loading. Approximately 100 cycles of increasing load steps, representing low cycle fatigue, were imposed on beams ...
