This study deals with the influence of fiber concrete mesostructure on size effect under compressive fatigue loading. For this purpose, three series cylindrical specimens steel fiber–reinforced were fabricated. Before testing, all cylinders scanned and main morphological, orientation, distribution parameters pores fibers checked. The images reveal that, near cylinders' walls, porosity is lower than that in cores even for large sizes. Additionally, larger are more vulnerable to loading,...
The accurate determination of the tensile strength concrete is a topic growing interest, especially driven by new ultra-high fiber-reinforced concretes. However, this complex task, as traditional methods provide inconsistent results (both splitting test and 3-point bending test). most robust method direct test. in concrete, it poses technical challenge that has not yet been satisfactorily solved. aim study design specimen maximizes percentage successful failure also allows viable anchorage...
Abstract: This paper describes the main characteristics of a new drop‐weight impact machine that has been specifically designed for studying dynamic mechanical behaviour structural concrete samples. Such type equipment used to generate simple and measurable fracture processes under moderate‐to‐fast loading rates, contrary blast chambers, which produce complicated crack patterns are difficult analyse. The consists two parts, structure data acquisition system. former is just hammer, guided by...
