Abstract: It is found that strength of concrete structures generally decreases with increasing structure size before reaching a limiting value. Fracture mechanics is used to predict such size effect. However, most previous fracture ...

Abstract: A concrete pavement curls to a concave configuration when it is subjected to a negative temperature gradient, which results when the temperature at its bottom surface is higher than at its top surface. A gap may occur ...

Abstract: Field investigation of continuously reinforced concrete pavements indicate the presence of delaminations at a depth of approximately 2.5 cm (1 in.) below the concrete pavement slab surface. These delaminations originate ...

Abstract: Corrections for stress‐wave dispersion in a 76.2‐mm‐diameter split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) system have produced more accurate data in the regime between yield point (elastic limit) and maximum stress of dynamic ...
