Fiber reinforced polymer materials are materials that reinforce structures by adding strength while being a light load. Fiber reinforced polymer materials are complex materials that usually contain strong fibers connected in a matrix. The fibers strengthen materials...
Concrete fatigue describes the phenomenon were concrete breaks down under repeated weight and stressors. Fatigue is seen when concrete fails under added tension, compression, torsion, bending, or a combination of them all. Fatigue is seen after a long period of time....
Modulus of elasticity of concrete is a measurement that tells how stiff the concrete is. Stiffness typically suggests strength. It’s meant to show the concretes ability to keep its form intact while withstanding different stress and strain. In other words, it’s the...
We all know that testing the concrete of our projects is an essential part of construction. Testing old concrete is also important to ensure that our homes foundation remains durable and strong even after many years. Sometimes sending our concrete to a lab is too time...
Testing concrete is a crucial part during construction of new buildings. It’s also crucial if you suspect that there are malfunctions in the already existing concrete structures. Testing your concrete can prevent any future irreversible damages to concrete structures....
