Recent study reveals machine learning's potential in predicting the strength of carbonated recycled concrete, paving the way ...

Estimating fatigue strength in components and assemblies is a frequent engineering task. Doing so is critical to judging a component's durability for both its operational life and that of the ...

Compression testing is used to determine how a product or material reacts when it is compressed, squashed, crushed or flattened by measuring fundamental parameters that determine the specimen behavior ...

Concrete suppliers and contractors are sometimes accused of producing or placing low-strength concrete. While low-strength concrete does occasionally occur, many times reported cylinder strengths are ...

Until the mid-1970s, compression testing of composite materials received relatively little attention. Up to that point it, had generally been assumed that the compressive stiffness was approximately ...

President, Wyoming Test Fixtures Inc. Because composite structures are subjected to flexural loading in typical applications, it is not surprising that flexure testing of composites is commonly ...

New research shows steel I- and T-sections inside concrete beams can offset shear loss from web openings—enhancing safety in modern construction.

The offset shear strength is the shear stress endured by a material at the intersection of the shear stress versus the engineering shear strain curve, with a line parallel to a defined modulus and ...
