Abstract: Results of failure of cylinders under the uniaxial compression are reported. Cylinders of three different diameters (37.5, 75, and 150 mm) were tested. For all the cylinders, the height to diameter ratio was

Abstract: In the present technical note, the stresses and displacements are determined in an infinitely long circular cylindrical shell reinforced by a single frame. In the solution, the shell and the ring are considered separately. ...

Abstract: This study investigated the fracturing of concrete under triaxial compression. The experimental program involved size effect tests of compression fractures of cylindrical specimens with small notches, large notches, and ...

Abstract: The paper examines whether the size effect law for failures due to distributed cracking, recently derived from fracture mechanics arguments, is applicable to torsional failure of unreinforced or longitudinally reinforced ...

Abstract: The experimental program is designed to verify and calibrate the size effect theory. Test specimens made of notched beams are tested under four-point bending. The beams are geometrically similar in two dimensions, and the ...

Abstract: Test results from a size effect study on axially loaded reinforced concrete columns are presented. The tests specimens were geometrically similar pin-ended concrete columns of different sizes (in the ratio 1:2:4) giving ...

Abstract: The results of reduced-scale failure tests of simply supported four-point-bend beams of different sizes, containing lapped bond splices of smooth (undeformed) longitudinal reinforcing bars, are reported. The tests consist ...
