Abstract: This note comments on a strain rate pattern found in tensile tests. This strain rate pattern readily suggests that the Cowper-Symonds equation relating the static and dynamic flow stresses with the strain rate is not valid ...

Abstract: This investigation is focused on the evaluation of the fresh and hardened states of a distinctive and novel self-compacting concrete (SCC) with two distinct nonpozzolanic contents, i.e., gray phyllite (PLT) and marble ...
