The present Experimental investigation is to study the Mechanical Properties of the Fly ash concrete reinforced with steel fibers. The concrete composite comprises of steel fibers in different percentages and partial replacement of cement in different proportions. Steel fibers varied from 0%, 0.5%, 1% and 1.5% by weight of cement and replacement of fly ash varied from 0%, 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% ...

poly methyl methacrylate (pmma) is the most common material used in prosthodontics. several studies indicate a breakdown of the number of very high resin bases after 2 to 3 years to avoid breaking bass and several attempts have been made, such as altering the chemical structure of resin by adding causes cross linking or copolymerization. the innovative method for improving the physical properti...

resin- dentin interface hydrolysis is one of the greatest problems in restorative dentistry, because of collagenolytic and proteolytic activity of dentin enzymes. the aim of this study was to compare the effect of chx 2% and naocl 5% as rewetting agent on resin-dentin micro tensile bond strength.methods: 45 extracted, human caries-free third molar teeth were collected. after exposing of superfi...

failure in timber structures occurs mainly in crucial points such as joints areas. therefore, the idea of using composite sheets in timber joints has been intro-duced as a method in order to increase the strength and ductility behaviour of timber joints. this research aims to study the behaviour of bolted joints in poplar and pine woods, which are reinforced by two types of gfrp sheets. a singl...

This paper reports the strength behaviour of concrete containing three types of recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) aggregate. Results are also analysed to determine the PET-aggregate’s effect on the relationship between the flexural and splitting tensile strengths and compressive strength and to know whether the relationships between compressive strength and other strength characteristic...

The widespread use of porcelain in restorative dentistry is generally due to its esthetic appearance even though it is brittle. The transverse strength, or modulus rupture, averages around 108 MPa (16,000 psi) for aluminous porcelain and 88 MPa (13,000 psi) for feldspathic porcelain. The tensile strength, as determined by diametral compression, is approximately 29 MPa (4,200 psi) for opaque fel...

The disposal of used tires is a major environmental problem throughout the world which causes environmental hazards. Crumb rubber is a waste material that is ideal for use in concrete applications. The aim of this study is achieved to use of rubber waste as partial replacement of fine aggregate to produce rubberize concrete in M30 mix. Different partial replacements of crumb rubber (0, 5, 10, 1...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to compare the shear and tensile bond strength of three adhesive systems with increasing concentrations of filler for bonding brackets. MATERIALS & METHODS The study was carried out on 120 extracted human premolars; randomly divided into six groups, three groups for shear bond strength & three for tensile bond strength, each subgroup consisting of 20 t...
