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 is an exceptionally durable substance, given that the correct courses of action are followed. However, how do structural engineers predict what concrete might experience throughout its life? In general, we do not consider the real-world forces which concrete...
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...
What is a Concrete Test? When we are constructing a building, we want to make sure the location is suitable to support the structure. We also want to make sure that the quality of the concrete at the bottom of the structure is similar to the top of the structure, and...
